The markets are up much more than a mere few percent.

Going off closing lows, the SPY is up ~25% from it's ~223 close on 23 March. The Nasdaq Composite is up ~19%. That puts them back at mid-late 2019 prices, not 2016-2017 levels.

This all agrees w/your latter point - investors are already bullish again - but I wanted to add data points to supplement the market has recovered much faster than some people realize.

Or the $ doesn't buy as it used to in 2016/2017.

Speaking as someone who is paid in £, I can tell you I'd much rather be paid in $, especially since the Brexit vote. You guys don't know how lucky you are.

At least the Brexit vote was relatively clean in terms of currency with them using the pound. If/when an euro-country things may be even more volatile

No it puts it at November of last year levels.
