The sticky point is Mnuchin’s plan to limit unemployment benefits to 70% of paychecks.  I’m not sure if they are basing this on median or average incomes. 

If it’s the latter, then the change from current benefits with $600 from the federal government is limited for states with lower max unemployment benefits.

Portfolio Approach

Today’s Session

There is so much happening this week. I suspect the market trades in a narrow range until midweek.

  • Biggest week for earnings
  • Federal Reserve FOMC
  • Stimulus news from Washington, D.C.
  • Big Tech CEO head to Washington, D.C.

This morning, durable goods came in at 7.3% in June against consensus of 5.4%.

Business Investment Soared

Equities have begun to drift ahead of the open.  Stocks are not down enough to lure aggressive buyers, but sellers are reluctant to unload here and would need to see more pressure.
