In this context, investors tend to relegate to the second plan the potential risks, "such as that of a second wave of cases of Covid-19, of increased tensions between Washington and Beijing, or the uncertainty related to the presidential elections". As in the same time the u.s. central bank and the government of the United States continues to provide massive financial support, "there is a lot of money in circulation, ready to be invested in the Stock market, recalls the expert.

protests against police brutality, racism and social inequality, sometimes interspersed with looting and clashes with police, who are increasing in american cities "represent of course a human tragedy, but on this kind of subject matter, Wall Street is often disconnected from the reality on the ground", note also Nate Thooft. Unless these disorders were brought to persist for several weeks, and to affect accordingly the confidence of consumers, many observers believe that they have no particular influence on the stock market.
