> Now that uncertainty is going down
Spot price does nothing to measure uncertainty. Volatility is still very high which means, by definition, we are in an uncertain market.
A much better explanation for the dow rising is the opposite of what you propose: we don't really know how this will impact things so it's very hard to price all of this in. Investors already known that unemployment claims this week would be awful so that information is already priced in, but we're still really waiting on information about how all of these impacts will impact businesses as a whole.
