The August 2020 News Summary: It was another month where the Coronavirus Pandemic continue to lead or affect the news, but there were some challengers late in the month. The Coronavirus Pandemic tallies as of today at 01:28PM Eastern US by the John Hopkins University CSSE unit is now 25,325,617 confirmed cases globally with 848,030 deaths, an increase of 172,448 from last month. For the US it’s 6,020,186 confirmed cases and 183,399 deaths, an increase of 30,459 from last month. During the month there were advances in potential vaccines and test kits. Organizations of all types grappled with trying to open up, from commercial businesses to schools and universities and professional sports teams with varying success. Technology and technology infrastructure showed they have some bright spots but still have a ways to go to be reliable. People seemed mostly accepting that masking is an acceptable and polite strategy when out in the public. In international trade news the US and China appear to be getting back together to discuss some issues, even with the threatened shutdown of the popular China based TikTok platform in the US, which apparently some US high tech companies are possibly interested in acquiring. Japan’s Prime Minister Abe surprised the international community when he announced he is stepping down for health reasons. A big political and trade announcement was that the United Arab Emirates and Israel have agreed to establish diplomatic relations, a first between an Islamic country and the Jewish state. US corporate earnings were mixed during August, with the transportation sector airlines and cruises taking some hits while retailers did better than expected. US economic news continued to show the effects of the downturn. Indices that are more recent, however, showed some robust growth, especially those related to housing. Jobs are coming back, but the pace has apparently slowed. Surveys of consumers and businesses generally indicated short term concerns but cautious long term optimism. The Federal Reserve revised the way it makes decisions based on Gross Domestic Product such that the short term interest rates will probably remain very low over the next few years. Sadly, highly publicized shootings of black men by police created a lot of civil unrest and some destructive violence across some major cities of the US over the past month. The 2020 US Presidential Race took the next step as both the Democrats and Republicans held their conventions, mostly in an online format. Debates are next, 3 presidential, 1 vice presidential, starting September 29th. For the stock markets it was the best August in many years. The Stock Market Bull overwhelmingly won the month 3-0 and now has a string of 5 months in a row. The Stock Market Bear made an occasional trip onto the pasture but was unable to establish any kind of momentum. The biggest stock news included the 4:1 Apple and 5:1 Tesla stock splits on the last day of August, Apple exceeding $2 trillion in market capitalization, the NASDAQ and S&P500 hitting records, and the DJIA recovering to around even YTD. This sets the stage for the last month of the 3rd quarter, and it’s anyone’s guess about what will happen. Enjoy the ride!
The 8th Month of 2020 tally YTD is:
The Stock Market Bull: 5 months
The Stock Market Bear: 2 months
Mixed Results: 1 month
