After a historic crash due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Wall Street staged a solid rebound last week on the largest fiscal stimulus in history. Dow Jones witnessed its best week in more than 80 years, jumping 12.8% while the S&P 500 climbed 10.3%, marking its best week since 2009.

The House of Representatives approved a historic $2.2 trillion stimulus package to rescue the economy ravaged by the coronavirus. The stimulus bill aims to flood the economy with capital by sending $1,200 checks to many Americans, creating a $367 billion loan program for small businesses and setting up a $500 billion fund for industries, cities and states. Other provisions include a massive boost to unemployment insurance, $150 billion for state and local stimulus funds and $130 billion for hospitals (read: ETFs to Gain as Wall Street Cheers US Stimulus Package).

Additionally, aggressive policy easing by the Federal Reserve in the recent days supported the rally. After slashing interest rates to near zero and offering to buy more government bonds and mortgage-backed securities as needed to support smooth market functioning, the Fed will now lend against student loans and credit card loans, as well as back the purchase of corporate bonds and direct loans to companies. This represents the most extreme intervention in the economy by the central bank in its history of more than 100 years.

What Lies Ahead?

The rally might be short-lived as the risk persists at least in the near term. This is especially true as the epidemic has resulted in lockdowns and forced people to stay indoors to contain the spread, putting economies of many nations at risk. Layoffs are surging as businesses scale back or temporarily shut down their operations. State unemployment offices are reporting an unprecedented spike in initial jobless claims. Spending — the engine of the U.S. economy — is collapsing like anything.

The latest data showed that a record 3.3 million people filed claims for unemployment in the United States last week while consumer sentiment dropped by most in March since October 2008. Amid mass closures of private businesses, soaring layoffs and school shutdowns, market participants forecast global recession in the coming quarters.

However, the fiscal and monetary stimulus could make things better in the longer term. Last week’s rally led the Dow Jones out of bear market territory (read: US Stimulus Should Support These 7 ETFs).

Given the solid long-term outlook but bearish near-term sentiments, investors may want to stay on the sidelines for the time being. However, risk-tolerant long-term investors may want to consider the beaten down prices a buying opportunity, should they have the patience for extreme volatility.
