Wall Street has staged a comeback since late March, leaving behind the rest of the world. An unprecedented stimulus from the central bank and the government as well as a booming technology sector led to outperformance. Additionally, hopes surrounding a potential coronavirus vaccine and reopening of the economy instilled confidence.

All the 50 states have lifted restrictions put in place to combat the coronavirus outbreak. The easing has resulted in a pick-up in economic activities. The latest bouts of data indicate that economic damage from the coronavirus pandemic was less severe than anticipated.

Per the latest data, U.S. manufacturing activity rose for the first time since January, indicating that worst may be over. Jobless claims also fell for the first time during the pandemic in the week ended May 23, while readings on durable goods beat forecasts. Additionally, stronger-than-expected consumer confidence and homebuilder confidence have led to some optimism. Strong signs of a rebound in the economy more than offset the recent increase in U.S.-China trade tensions. 

Notably, the S&P 500 rallied 36% from its March low, cutting its losses for the year to 5.8%. The index also capped its best two-month gain since 2009.
