it appears that your global economic collapse was a tad pre-mature, perhaps?

Higher trading on Friday capped a major comeback on Wall Street as late-stage gains largely wiped away Monday's heavy losses, ending a turbulent week with a high note. The S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose close to 0.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) increased 0.5%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) gained 0.1% or about 50 points.
Markets closed the most volatile week of the 2024 campaign. Monday saw the worst rout of the year, and Wall Street's "fear gauge," the CBOE Volatility Index (^VIX), soared to its highest levels since the throes of the pandemic.
By Thursday, a reassuring look at the labor market, in the form of the normally routine report on weekly jobless claims, gave investors reason to buy back in. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both rallied over 2%, with the S&P posting its best day since late 2022 — a remarkable feat, considering the breadth of 2024's rally overall.
In the end, with a modest rally on Friday, the major indexes wrapped the week near where they started. All the more reason, as many strategists told Yahoo Finance's Julie Hyman in the Morning Brief newsletter, to stay calm amid the chaos.
