Dow surges 800 points after historic turnaround
Oct. 13 (UPI) — Stocks made a massive turnaround Thursday as the Dow Jones surged more than 800 points for the day, as traders shook off another hot inflation report.
Thursday marked the fifth largest intraday reversal from a low in the history of the S&P 500, and it was the fourth largest for the Nasdaq, according to SentimenTrader. It also marked the second monthly increase after falling flat in July.
“Maybe we get this last gasp higher in inflation and from here we start to decelerate,” Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, told CNBC.
