U. S. Stocks of rebounded after a dismal trading day on monday that ended with the dow jones suffering its worst ever single day point loss the New York Stock Exchange has just close this time significantly well lets get more now from gabriel is on the whos across in new york for us so a real volatile day game but there was a rally before the close of play. Yeah volatility is the word everyones mentioning here on wall street in new york over the last several days and especially today you know a lot of traders they say that the stock market should go up like an escalator very slow and steady at an angle but they also say it often goes down like an elevator straight down to the bottom or start to see a little bit of that you see why they use that i mean we see we saw the market open on tuesday with a sharp drop of nearly five hundred points but it rallied throughout the day slow and steady and it closed basically making up all of those Early Morning losses here but ill tell you this has been a very volatile last little bit of time here on wall street markets stabilizing a little bit on tuesday but that came came after monday when it had the biggest point drop in history and came after last week when the markets had its worst week in two years couple of that with the Bigger Picture i should say the medium term picture of the last year when the stock market has been doing very well here in the United States breaking all sorts of records so the big picture here is is this a crisis on the markets in the United States no not yet but is this certainly volatility that has a lot of people taking a second look at where the economy is and where things are definitely now how is the trumpet ministration spinning this steve minutia in the treasury secretary was speaking at a House Financial ServicesCommittee Hearing on tuesday he was specifically asked to comment about this sharp drop in the markets over the last week or so and this is how he responded. Well first our just comment they have been quite volatile today as i normally wouldnt be looking at my phone but given the market moves on checking it its now up one hundred eighty seven points so were back up today im not overly concerned about the market volatility i think the fundamentals are quite strong i have checked in with Market Participants this morning before i came to make sure that there was orderly market activity clearance functioning no systemic issues and im happy to report that i got the green lights so gave us this correction done and dusted though are we still saying invest as a little jittery. Definitely investors are still very jittery that era of free money so to speak in the United States seems to be over and what i mean by that is the market for the past year has gained in some ways over thirty percent of the value and now donald trump the current president the United States likes to pat himself on the back he comments and tweets about this a lot over the last year saying that taking a lot of credit for the stock market historic gains over the last year a lot of this traced back to deregulation that trump is promoted and and also his big tax reform bill that he pushed through at the end of last year certainly that without a doubt that has helped the stock market but now that the market has has sort of recur acted itself so to speak and its not doing so well as you saw there from a new ssion speaking the treasury secretary there basic saying oh not now dont look at the markets thats not important now look at the fundamentals of the economy the big picture is he is right the fundamentals of the u. S. Economy still remain pretty strong unemployment is at record lows here in the United States and job. Wages have gone up nearly three percent so thats all very good but leading potentially to inflation so again the big picture is here fundamentals of the u. S. Economy look pretty strong however the markets are see me indicate that maybe the the markets were a little overheated here in the u. S. Now why is that important globally primarily because International Markets europe asia others look to the United States markets to see how they should react we did see some dips in both asia and the european markets on tuesday well have to see if that carries into wednesday big picture though again though wall street sort of. Sort of shaking itself saying this big run that theres been on the markets in the last year probably is over a little bit down more to reality now good to get out of that life as you.
