March 2021 had no shortage of market-moving headlines. From a container ship blocking the Suez Canal to millions of Americans cashing in their stimulus checks, it was an interesting month to say the least.
The Nasdaq traded relatively flat for the month, up approximately 2%. However, the Dow Jones Industrial Index jumped more than 6% as investors scrambled to pick up shares of cyclical stocks. The S&P 500’s gain sat somewhere in the middle of the other two indexes, up about 4%
There is already optimism in the air for April, as consumers spend their stimulus checks on discretionary purchases and businesses reopen with more Americans receiving the vaccine.
