I'm not an expert but a lot of the U.S. has parts of their retirement (401ks) and such being auto invested into the stock market. So unless people actively go out of their way to remove their funds or change their investments to be going elsewhere (which many people don't even know how to do) the amount of money in the market tomorrow should be more than today, so long as anyone is going to work.
