Market Update - December 13, 2020

12/13/2020

 
Hope all is well with you and your families.  The S&P 500 fell for the first time in three weeks as markets worried about prospects for further economic stimulus and U.S. regulatory approval of a new coronavirus vaccine. The major indexes slipped less than 1%, retreating from record highs. This week marked the 40th anniversary of John Lennon's murder in NYC I have chosen to break down this week's market news using some of his most memorable lyrics.

The stimulus showdown continues in Washington as politicians are not able to put their differences aside and get aid to those in need. House and Senate leaders continue to pursue a deal on further coronavirus-related economic relief, but sticking points remained on Friday after months of negotiations and as Congress prepared to adjourn for the year. Any deal that emerges could be attached to a $1.4 trillion measure that must pass by December 18 in order to avert a government shutdown.

The UK is ready to spread its wings and fly.  British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said there was a “strong possibility” that his country could exit the economic union at the end of this month without a free trade agreement    European stock indexes fell on Friday as a Brexit deal remained elusive in talks between the United Kingdom and the European Union. The drop came despite the European Central Bank expanding its economic stimulus program, citing risks that spiking coronavirus cases pose to the continent’s economy.

The recovery continues to slow. More than 850,000 Americans filed first-time unemployment claims in the latest weekly report, exceeding economists’ expectations. The total was the largest since mid-September—further evidence that the economic recovery and the labor market are under pressure as coronavirus cases spike.
