Equities Market just surged for futures of S&P500 because the Federal Reserve Unveils Unlimited QE Amid All-In Effort to Confront 'Severe Coronavirus Disruptions'. I think this is the first time its ever done an unlimited QE and this could help revive the economy. Its gonna be a massive bailout.
The Fed will buy unlimited amounts of Treasury bonds, and purchase corporate and municipal debt for the first time, in an historic effort to defend the U.S. economy from 'severe" conoravirus distruptions.

Short on S&P500 but long term buy opportunity afterThe S&P 500 index is a benchmark of American stock market performance, dating back to the 1920s. The index has returned a historic annualized average return of around 10% since its inception through 2019 and thats a good representation of the market.
Compared to fixed deposits, yearly returns ranges from 0.5%-2%. While that average number of 10% may sound attractive, timing is everything - get in at a high or out at a relative low and you will not enjoy such returns. Inflation is around 3.15% yearly so the actual returns is only at around 6-7%. That said, its still better than parking your money in the bank and gaining that 0.05% interest.
So thats why its important to time the market and enter at the right time. If you had just entered into the stock market 1 month ago, your probably would have lost 30% of your funds that you use to enter.
