FINAL THOUGHTS
While volatility has decreased almost 10% from yesterday, it's not going anywhere anytime soon. As I mentioned above, expect this positive shift in sentiment to be temporary. Markets love free money and will be comforted in the short term by these economic initiatives. However, there is still large uncertainty surround the coronavirus's impact on the global economy. This will return to market participants' minds shortly. Be prepared.
