Introduction
The World Health Organization (WHO) announced the corona virus (COVID-19) out
eak as a global pandemic officially on   11 March, 2020. Within a fleeting count of days, on 27 March, 2020, the number of confirmed cases exceeded a huge count of 500,000, and is still rising continuously. More than 170 countries have been affected by this deadly virus so far, but the United States has seen the most number of confirmed cases (WHO 2020). The fleeting and swift spread of corona virus (COVID-19) has created substantial impacts on the economic markets all over the world. It has created a freakish as well as an unparalleled level of risk, resulting in the distress of investors to experience significant losses in a very
ief and fleeting period of time. This essay focuses on discussing the impacts of corona virus on the financial markets of the United States as well as the significant rise in the stocks of the US after the crash by the pandemic.
Impact of Covid 19 on the financial market of the United States

Various countries have implemented strict policies of lockdown as well as quarantine, which have led to the significant limitation and reduction of the economic activities. Despite the unclear information of the impact of the global viral out

ies regarding the sharp influence of the global Covid 19 pandemic on the financial market. One of the most notable, widest as well as distinguished market measures of the United States, the S & P 500, encroached higher on 11th of August, 2020 to close to an index of 3,389.78, which was almost three points higher than the record of the organisation on 19th Fe
uary, 2020 (BBC News 2020). Various data also show that the rest of the indexes of the United States have also bounced back. The Nasdaq composite, which is one of the highest stock market index in the United States has also hit a major record after exceeding its previous high index in June 2020 and overshadowing it whereas, the average o f the Dow Jones Industrial is within the bounds of approximately 5 % of its own record in Fe
uary, 2020.
The shares on the United States market have been on a rising direction since March 23, 2020,...
