Good MorningDespite what is fast-becoming a much better than expected reporting season news from Washington, D.C., and fear of the COVID-19 pandemic sapped risk-on sentiment in Thursday's trading. From Washington, the word is that Republican lawmakers are still haggling over the details for a proposed round of economic stimulus. The impasse casts a shadow of doubt on whether the bill can be finalized before previously passed unemployment benefits expire.
On the pandemic front, the spread of COVID is accelerating in several places around the world raising doubts about the recovery. With cases hitting new highs in the U.S. daily the likelihood of further economic damage is very real. The fear now is that July’s non-farm payrolls report will show a slow-down in hiring or worse, a net job loss due to COVID related closures. The S&P 500 was up early in the day and set a new post-correction high but gave up the gains and more by the end of the day.
