Good MorningThe stock market got a major boost on Thursday when President Joe Biden signed another round of economic stimulus into law. The bill includes $1400 checks for most Americans and the White House says the first ones will go out this weekend. The S&P 500 gained more than 1.25% on the news but the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite was the biggest winner for the day.
In economic news, the number of long-term unemployed remains persistently high near 20 million while the number of new jobless claims continues to decline. The number of new claims fell to 712,000 over the last week, the lowest level since the spring of 2020, even while the number of job openings hits a new high. The JOLTs report shows 6.9 million job openings in the U.S., up 100,000 from last month and 200,000 better than expected.
