“Pelosi set to Tuesday as the deadline to reach a deal – talks have been dragging on for months and the elections are due in exactly two weeks. Will Trump push for a deal and can he impose his will? That remains an open question. Markets are set to seize on any hint if an agreement is coming or not.”
“Christine Lagarde, President of the European Central Bank, raised concerns of a slowdown stemming from this second wave of coronavirus.
