BofA securities acknowledged the impact that the tech companies had in easing the way of communication in lockdown. It named ZOOM - the leader of videoconferencing software. Alongside ZOOM, Microsoft and RingCentral Inc. were mentioned.

The encrypted calls will be a feature available only to those who have fully verifiable accounts.
USA500 added 0.8%, while TECH100 gained 1.4%. This year, USA500 fell 5%, while TECH100 gained 8%.
