Stock Markets Gain Ground on Lemonade IPO, Avis Budget Boost

Stock Markets Gain Ground on Lemonade IPO, Avis Budget Boost

The stock market continued to gain ground on Thursday, going into the three-day holiday weekend with some strong momentum. Although the gains for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI), S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), and Nasdaq Composite waned slightly into the close, investors still showed that they have a strong belief in the power of the U.S. economy to overcome the challenges brought on during the coronavirus crisis. IPO investors got a treat today, as fintech insurance company Lemonade (NYSE: LMND) came public and received huge interest in the secondary market.
