Dow Jones Jumps 250 Points as Disney Plans Reopening, Boeing Stock Rises on Layoffs

Optimism surrounding the reopening of the U.S. economy appears to be the driving force, although it remains to be seen whether that optimism is warranted. Disney put forth plans to reopen some of its parks in July, while Boeing disclosed that it would layoff nearly 7,000 U.S. employees this week in a bid to cut costs. The pandemic has been a disaster for Disney, which relies on its parks for a significant portion of revenue and profits.
