Abstract

This study explores the initial impact of the COVID-19 on the U.S. stock market. According to the daily data of S&P 500, Nasdaq and DJI, this paper investigates the reactions of the U.S. stock market when Omicron was found. In addition, to predict the future movement of the U.S. stock market, this paper compared and analyzed the previous outbreaks on March 2020 and June 2021 respectively. Especially, it finds that there was a short-term decline after the outbreak but the market will return in a longer period. Moreover, as epidemics become more normalized and people become more experienced in dealing with them, the impact of new outbreaks on the stock market will be less serious. Overall, the analysis of the volatility of the stock market can help investors find a strategy for investments that can contribute to reducing the risk during the event of a continuously pandemic crisis.
