The DOW is lurching back up again?

Where are all the people that were saying a recession is coming when it was down yesterday? Shouldn't they be saying we're not heading for a recession today?

Update:

Everyone. I already know that the stock market is simply an indicator. No need to try to explain it to me. My post is simply a commentary on the liberal media's tactic of fooling people with misinformation.

    The Dow has been seeswaing for about a year and a half now. It goes up and then it goes down again. Volatility, in general, isn't good, and in this case the downs have erased all the gains over that period.

    Moreover, the possibility of a recession coming isn't undone by one upward swing of the market.

    Who cares? Ordinary people cannot afford shares or bonds anyway, and there will always be a next "recession" in the current capitalist system

    There are a number of factors that indicate that we're heading for a recession. Those include the inverted yield curve a couple of days ago, the shrinking in major economies such as Germany and the UK, the slowing down of the US economy, the uncertainty caused by Trump's trade war with China, etc.

    The stock market reacts to those concerns.

    Apparently statistically (you know, scientifically, oh wait, cons don't "lahk sigh-ince", so never mind about that) the up-down stock market is an early sign of a recession.

    The Dow wasn't the reason for the concerns about recession. The inversion of the yield curve, which has been a much more successful predictor of recessions, was.
