Ways
COVID
Impacted

Stock
Market

Public
health
isn't
the
only
area
of
life
the
COVID
-
19
pandemic
has
affected
.
Throughout
the
year
,
stimulus
packages
,
lockdowns
,
and
changing
trends
have
had
various
consequences
.
These
changes
have
had
a
considerable
impact
on
the
U
.
S
.
stock
market
.
The
market
and
the
national
are
not
the
same
things
.
Positive
performance
in
stocks
doesn't
necessarily
indicate
economic
for
the
majority
of
Americans
.
Still
,
play
a
crucial
role
in
many
people's
finances
,
so
these
changes
are
important
.

Early
Losses
Across
the
Board
The
first
and
most
effect
COVID
-
19
had
on
the
stock
is
an
initial
plunge
.
Between
Jan
.
23
and
March
6
,
the
NASDAQ
-
100
fell
7
.
4%
,
followed
by
another
12
.
4%
over
the
next
two
weeks
.
The
S&P
500
reacted
similarly
,
falling
10
.
6%
between
late
January
and
March
,
and
another
14
.
9%
in
early
March
.
As
social
distancing
regulations
went
into
place
and
people
their
jobs
,
spending
.
Virtually
every
sector
experienced
a
downturn
in
the
face
of
the
economic
standstill
.
While
many
stocks
have
since
recovered
,
this
early
COVID
crash
was
historic
.

Tech
Stocks
Skyrocketing
provided
a
way
for
people
to
meet
,
work
,
,
and
entertain
themselves
from
their
homes
.
As
a
result
,
when
people
could
scarcely
leave
their
houses
,
tech
adoption
soared
.
As
people
get
used
to
this
new
normal
,
the
trend
could
continue
well
past
the
pandemic
.

Volatility
for
Commodities
For
example
,
precious
metals
have
seen
a
22
.
10%
increase
despite
recent
.
Others
,
like
agriculture
,
have
experienced
recent
but
still
haven't
recovered
completely
.
While
commodities
have
traditionally
been
a
haven
from
market
volatility
,
they've
proven
just
as
unstable
as
anything
else
amid
COVID
-
19
.

More
First
-
Time
Investors
Despite
or
perhaps
because
of
market
volatility
,
the
pandemic
has
spurred
a
rise
in
first
-
time
investors
.
As
stock
prices
plunged
,
millions
of
new
started
buying
in
hopes
of
substantial
returns
.
These
new
,
many
of
them
young
,
hadn't
stocks
before
due
to
high
.
The
lows
created
by
the
COVID
-
19
pandemic
gave
new
the
perfect
opportunity
.
While
no
one
would
argue
that
the
virus
is
a
positive
thing
,
it
has
made
stock
trading
more
.

Health
Stocks
See
Early
Decline
,
Late
Recovery
Health
stocks
,
like
many
others
,
fell
in
the
early
days
of
the
pandemic
.
Despite
an
increased
need
for
hospitals
,
the
business
of
medicine
as
facilities
had
to
conserve
resources
for
more
dire
,
less
profitable
procedures
.
For
example
,
elective
surgeries
fell
by
55%
compared
to
last
year
as
hospital
beds
went
to
COVID
patients
.
As
infection
begin
to
even
out
or
,
health
stocks
have
started
to
see
recovery
.
Now
that
there's
a
backlog
of
patients
wanting
elective
procedures
,
a
considerable
could
be
on
the
horizon
.
When
the
pandemic
subsides
,
health
stakeholders
could
see
substantial
returns
.
The
Full
Effects
of
COVID
-
19
Are
Still
Unknown
Whatever
happens
,
it's
become
clear
that
the
stock
market
is
not
immune
to
COVID
-
19
.
Markets
may
not
have
reacted
consistently
,
but
they
have
all
changed
one
way
or
another
.
As
the
pandemic
continues
,
more
of
these
changes
could
