U.S. stock futures rose in overnight trading on Sunday as markets indicated a return from a losing stock week.
Investors have weighed in on updates on the release of the Govit-19 vaccine and the corona virus induction in Washington.
Dow futures are up 180 points. The S&P 500 futures and the Nasdaq 100 futures gained 0.55% and 0.45%, respectively.
Last week, stocks enjoyed a lot in the first week as legislators continued to clash over the Govt-19 aid package.
The S&P 500 fell 1% in its first negative week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.57% in its first negative week, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.7% in its first negative week.
The market is expected to move with the release of Pfizer’s vaccine next week and the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting. Tesla also joins the S&P 500 on Friday.
Following FDA’s emergency approval for Pfizer’s vaccine, CDC Director Robert Redfield signed the drug, which allows vaccines to be officially developed for people 16 or older.
The United States has begun shipping quantities from a Pfizer facility in Michigan to hundreds of distribution centers across the country. The FDA is also set to release an estimate of Moderna’s vaccine this week.
The Govt-19 vaccine is being released in the dark days of epidemics in the United States, with more than 3,300 deaths reported on Friday and more than 2,300 corona virus-related deaths reported on Saturday. New infections continue to erupt, with more than 219,000 cases reported on Saturday.
The increase in lawsuits coincides with months of debate in Washington over another round of Govt relief. The bipartisan group has proposed a $ 908 billion structure; However, Sen. Majority leader Mitch McConnell opposes the proposal, calling for an agreement that instead defaults on liability for businesses and the allocation of funds to state and local governments. Those two issues are the main sources of disagreement between Republicans and Democrats.
“Politically, the debate continues on another fiscal bill, which is much needed by the majority of the population, but as the economies fully reopen it will create an even bigger ‘money wall’ for consumers to spend,” Raymond James’ Davis McCourt told clients on Sunday.
“It is clear that the economy will slow down if local strikes continue, but any impact on the stock market has so far been limited. It is not clear whether this will continue at 1 Q, but our speculation is that bullpacks will be limited if there are no material changes in the vaccine,” he said.
The central bank begins its two-day policy meeting on Tuesday, the final meeting of the central bank for 2020. Economists have speculated that the central bank may make changes to its bond program. The central bank currently buys at least $ 80 billion a month in treasuries, and federal officials discussed at their last meeting what they could do to change that plan.
