U.S. Stocks halted a four-day losing streak as Congress moved toward a federal spending package that would boost the economy. Treasuries retreated. The S&P 500 rebounded from its longest slide since September. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he will keep lawmakers in Washington until a deal gets done. The 10-year Treasury yield moved above 0.90% as the Federal Reserve began its two day meeting. The dollar weakened for a second day. Oil advanced with gold. Wall Street is growing increasingly confident that Democratic and Republican lawmakers will clinch a bill based on a $748 billion bipartisan proposal that would inject cash directly into the economy as prior benefits begin to expire at the end of the year. The vaccine rollout continues in the U.S. without any major disruptions so far. According to Stock Analyst Dr Rodrick Jonathan If the stimulus deal go through this week, the market in general will surge higher but if not, the market will remain red, so He warns new stock buyers to be careful as the picture is not clear yet and for now you can only make profit by trading your stock with a strategy instead of panic selling, for me i advice you to multiply the little you have with Rodrick's strategy, i was able to make $60, 000 with $10, 000 in 3 weeks with his stock trading strategy, reach him on telegram Rodrickjonathan orWhatsApp+1(66O)474-OO3O

[maradavila]

Finally, a well educated and knowledgeable cabinet. There is hope in the horizon.

Biden and Harris keeps emphasizing the need for union jobs, when the best places to work are where the employers treat their employees so well that they choose not to join or form a union.

[LooBiggerthanyoo]

Pete cant even pave the roads in his own town

[mannyd.]

Biden could of chosen somebody with experience and has a leading career for the job not some party donor.

[comingforya]

He couldn't even fix his own pot holes in his district. Dominos had to flip the bill
