Market implications
The stock market enjoyed some positive sentiment on Monday, with hopes that a stimulus plan can be reached before the presidential election day.
The spread of the virus is relentless and businesses, as well as consumers, are hanging on by a thread while the window of opportunity is closing.
The question is whether the Senate can be swayed by this new bill, but the atmosphere in Washington may be too politically charged to pass more economic relief bills.
