The key indices are all up this morning with the Dow, the NASDAQ, and the S&P 500 all in positive territory. This follows news that there could be a stimulus package before the elections. Comments by lawmakers over the weekend indicated that a COVID-19 relief could come before November 3rd.
Elsewhere, President Trump stated that he was aiming for a higher number than what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had requested, following a move by house democrats to put forth a $2.2 trillion package. Essentially this means that the President was willing to go with a number that is higher than the $1.8 trillion that he had proposed earlier. This is a positive development for an economy that has been badly by the COVID-19 pandemic.
As of Saturday, the number of COVID-19 cases had risen to more than 57k. While it was an improvement from earlier figures, it still shows that the virus was still a major burden to the U.S economy.
