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
