The Dow saw its third-best gain ever today after President Trump’s proposals for economic boosts related to the coronavirus crisis.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average added over 1,167 points rebounding from the big loss on Monday. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also rallied back about 5 percent.

The drop in the market was the biggest drop since 2008, but with President Trump’s leadership, the Dow is gaining.

He also said that he would be asking the Small Business Administration (SBA) to issue loans to small businesses.
