The continuous losses were attributed to the fear of investors towards COVID-19 resurgence. With that out of the way, what’s left is the concerns over possibility of increase in consumer market pricing as well as company input costs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index both managed to reverse earlier losses and converted them into gains. The Dow stepped up by more than 300 points or almost 1%, while S&P moved forward with less than 40 points increase or 0.93%. NASDAQ Composite Index, on the other hand, went against the odds gaining over 160 points or 1.12% despite Netflix losing over 7% after the print on their first quarter gains were released.

Concerns were raised as the vaccine rollout pause might affect timelines set for the distribution causing delay in the intended goal of herd immunity in the U.S. However, with other suppliers such as Pfizer Inc. and Moderna Inc. around, some still believe that vaccine supply will be enough. According to the reports from health agencies, more than 6 severe blood clots are being investigated closely out of the 6.8 million doses that have been administered so far.
