Pelosi sounding optimistic on stimulus after president's COVID-19 diagnosis

  • Another fiscal stimulus package was broadly assumed to be left for dead until at least after the election, but comments from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a MSNBC interview suggest otherwise.
  • She says the president's COVID-19 diagnosis has changed the equation, and that the two sides will find a path on a bill. A "middle ground" will be found.
  • Stocks are bouncing a bit off opening lows, the S&P 500 (SP500) now off 0.9% and Nasdaq (COMP) down 1.15%.
  • Long-dated Treasury yields are up modestly, the 10-year ahead one basis point to 0.69%. TLT -0.4%.
  • As for the Speaker herself, she's awaiting results from her own COVID-19 test.
