Dow turns positive, shaking off earlier declines as virus spread triggers more restrictions: Nov 19
The S&P 500 and Dow reversed earlier losses to push into slightly positive territory, as investors weighed rising COVID-19 cases in the U.S. and increased restrictions against hopes for an effective vaccine. For the past few days, the bad outweighed the good. On Wednesday, the Dow posted its biggest loss in three weeks, dropping nearly 350 points, or 1.2%, amid more signs of deterioration in the battle to keep COVID-19 cases at bay.
