Stock markets regained some of the ground lost after the sharp falls in March, such as the US S&P 500, which recorded its best April since 1975. The slowdown in the spread of the virus and the monetary and fiscal policies implemented by most countries have helped this recovery. However, the halt in activity and the fall in oil consumption have led to US oil trading in negative territory, something never seen before in history.
