October 9, 2020 Headlines

Treasuries are unchanged this morning while equity futures are pointing to a higher open in response to news of renewed stimulus talks. While there is still disagreement on the size of the deal, there appears to be at least some agreement between the House and the Trump administration on the scope of the bill; with both sides seeming to agree that it should be more comprehensive in nature rather than just address certain sectors like the airline industry.

As a reminder, the market will be closed this Monday the 12th in observance of Columbus Day
