Stock Market Today: Stocks Seesaw on Stimulus Hopes

Private Finance – Stock Market Today: Stocks Seesaw on Spur Hopes

Wednesday’s strong market open indicated that investors weren’t hung up on last night’s daunting first presidential debate. Instead, the session hinged on spur hopes … for better, and then for worse.

Stocks popped at the open and kept rising through midday ahead of a plotted meeting between House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Reserves Desk Steven Mnuchin. Mnuchin said “I reckon there is a evenhanded negotiate here” and seemingly expects to counteroffer the House’s $2.2 trillion bill with a $1.5 trillion plot.

But stocks cut some of their gains in the day after Senate Margin Leader Mitch McConnell said “we are far apart” and indicated Republicans would not agree to $2.2 trillion in bonus costs.

The result? The Dow Jones Manufacturing Average, which traded as high as 28,026 at Wednesday’s highs, refined up 1.2% to 27,781.

Other action in the stock market today:

The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.7% to 11,167.
The S&P 500 stuck-up by 0.8% to 3,363.
The small-cap Russell 2000 edged 0.2% higher to 1,507.
Shares of controversial huge data and scrutiny firm Palantir Technologies (PLTR) went public via a direct listing on the New York Stock Chat, gaining 34.2% from its $7.25 “allusion price.”

Focus on the Huge Picture

High levels of uncertainty around spur, the elections and COVID have place stocks in a holding pattern. The major indices are all fruitfully flat since mid-August, and most experts predict nonstop explosive nature at least through Appointment Day.

David Bahnsen, chief investment officer of California-based wealth manager The Bahnsen Group, doesn’t view the government as the primary driver of the markets, but says “a lack of clarity around appointment results will facilitate more of the trading range we have been stuck in for quite some time.”

“I believe there is a chance that in the weeks ahead, the presidential race gets more clarity, but the Senatorial races get less clarity,” he adds.

That’s a trying background for making small-term tactical tweaks and aggressive bets, but it’s a fine time to evaluate your overall choice and ensure that you have not just the ideal blend of assets – but the best harvest that offer that kind of exposure.
