Good MorningThe equity markets continued to rebound on Wednesday on rising hopes that Congress will soon pass the next round of economic stimulus. Included in the $1.9 trillion price tag is another round of stimulus checks worth $5600 to a family of four. While much of the bill is focused on COVID-19 relief the CBO says at least half the spending will not get implemented until well after the crisis has passed. In COVID news, the number of daily new cases continues to trend lower and is now at the lowest levels since early summer 2020.

With the spring season soon approaching and businesses eager to reopen hiring will likely pick up substantially over the next few weeks to two months.
