His announcement surprised some. The last such move came during the Recession a decade ago under far more dire circumstances. Markets initially responded Tuesday by spiking, but that euphoria lasted 15 minutes then markets began their day-long slide, particular in New York.<\/p>\n<p>In all, the Dow swung nearly 1,300 points Tuesday, the VIX soared 26%, and all New York indices returned to correction territory, closing nearly -3%. <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/MSFT-Q\">Microsoft<\/a>, for example, swung between $162 and 175, eventually shedding 4.79%. The U.S. 10-year fell below 1%. As expected, gold rallied 3%, WTI oil rose 1.35%, and WCS gained nearly that much.<\/p>\n<p>Supported by gold, the TSX stayed positive for much of the day and closed only 0.46% down. <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/OSK-T\">Osisko Mining<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/OGC-T\">Oceanagold<\/a> both rallied over 12%. Other safe havens like consumer staples increased over 2% while utilities like <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/AQN-T\">Algonquin Power<\/a> rose nearly 3%. No doubt about it: Tuesday was one of the rockiest sessions of 2020 so far and will later be read as a prudent or panic move. Regardless, street consensus says that this volatility will continue until the coronavirus eventually subsides worldwide. At least it&#8217;s starting to in China.<\/p>\n<p>&#x24c2; <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/MSFT-Q\">Microsoft<\/a> -4.78%<br \/>\n&#x1f451; <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/OSK-T\">Osisko Mining Inc<\/a> +12%<br \/>\n&#x1f947; <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/OGC-T\">Oceanagold Corp<\/a> +12%<br \/>\n&#x267b; <a href=\"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/AQN-T\">Algonquin Power &amp; Utilities Corp<\/a> +3%<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, you missed Past Top Picks comments by James Hodgins including Cipher Pharmeuticals (A Top Pick Nov 27\/18, Down 44%) Get Premium to receive all past top picks opinions a few hours before market open.
