Stock futures were slightly weaker on Tuesday evening, following a day in which Wall Street bet big on Washington’s warring political factions coalescing around a $2 trillion stimulus package to combat the effects of the coronavirus.
Dow, Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures all dipped slightly after opening, as markets awaited word of a final bill in the Senate. In Tuesday’s regular session, stocks staged a monster rally, with the battered Dow Jones Industrial Average posting its best day since 1933 by rallying over 11% to close up by over 2,100 points.
A day earlier, a brutal sell-off virtually erased all of the gains made since President Donald Trump was elected. The S&P 500 Index had its strongest session since 2008, while the Nasdaq turned in its best performance in 7 days.
The damage — both economic and political — from COVID-19 has stoked a widening debate over how quickly the U.S. can return to a semblance of normalcy. With his re-election chances likely to be defined by a recovery from the crisis, President Donald Trump on Tuesday called for the economy to be restarted by April 12 — but market analysts have their doubts about that timetable.
