Dow soars 580 points as optimistic home-sales data overshadows virus spread
US equities leaped on Monday as investors blocked out rising coronavirus case counts and focused on positive housing-market data., the National Association of Realtors announced Monday. The reading trounced the median economist estimate of 19.3%, according to Bloomberg. The association's metric now sits at 99.6, slightly lower than its pre-virus high of 111.4 but hinting at a steady recovery for the critical sector.
The leap "goes to show the resiliency of American consumers and their evergreen desire for homeownership," Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist, said. "This bounce back also speaks to how the housing sector could lead the way for a broader economic recovery."
