The stock market has been more volatile during the last two weeks than it has at any other point during 2021 — starting with the news of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus causing a significant drop in the markets, a short-lived bounce back on Cyber Money, and then wobbly-at-best conditions in the week afterward.

But, on Tuesday this week, Wall Street got some good news on the Omicron variant. Reports are showing that while the variant seems to be more contagious than many of the other variants, it doesn’t seem to be as virulent. People who are contracting the Omicron variant appear to be experiencing milder symptoms, which likely means fewer hospitalizations and deaths… and a reduced need for additional economic restrictions.

As we well know, expectations are everything on Wall Street; if traders expect economic growth, stocks go up. If traders expect the economy to hit headwinds, stocks go down.
That’s why uncertainty is so difficult to deal with. It messes up expectations and leaves Wall Street directionless. Sometimes stocks drift higher when Wall Street is left scratching its head, but when the uncertainty is bearish — like it is anytime we’re discussing COVID — lack of direction typically leads to selloffs.
So long as the Omicron variant doesn’t prove to be more virulent, we expect good news and more stability to come.
