BMT Market Insights:
Like the Pandemic Never Even Happened
Last week we witnessed two monumental events – the S&P 500 surpassed its previous high set back in February and Apple Inc. (AAPL) became the first U.S. company to achieve a $2 trillion market capitalization. The remarkable S&P 500 recovery, during an ongoing pandemic, marked the quickest recovery of a 30% decline or worse in history. It took just 103 trading days to erase the S&P’s 35.41% decline, supported by substantial monetary and fiscal policy stimulus. Apple’s rise to the $2 trillion club comes just two years after breaking the $1 trillion level in August 2018.
