5 things to know before the stock market opens today

The Dow Jones Industrial Average appeared ready for a 100-point drop as the market opened today. Investors were grappling this morning with the same issues that yesterday dragged the Dow down–uncertainty around additional stimulus, and the mounting virus cases in this country.

On Thursday, the FDA is slated to discuss whether it will grant emergency use authorization for  Pfizer’s vaccine, which is already being deployed in the U.K. Today the FDA said that the trial information did not give any cause for concern.

Meanwhile, the first woman in the world received the vaccine today. She is 90 years old.

And President Donald Trump is expected to sign an executive order today that would ensure the U.S. remains focused on inoculations in this country first.

Finally, lawmakers are scrambling for more time to finalize their stimulus package and a spending bill. What’s next on this front?

Pfizer’s virus vaccine is officially being administered outside of clinical trials, as the U.K. begins its distribution to older adults (80 years and above), and those who work in healthcare.

Margaret Keenan is 90 years old, and a grandmother. She is also the first person to be inoculated against the virus beyond a research setting.

For now, inoculations are happening at 50 hospitals in the U.K., but the vaccine will ultimately be more widely available.

In the U.K., there are more than 1.7 million people who are infected with the virus, and there have been over 61,000 deaths.

“It’s just incredible actually,” said chief pharmacist of Croydon Health Services. “Obviously I can’t hold them in my hands because they are minus 70 degrees, but to know that they are here and we are amongst the first in the country to actually receive the vaccine and therefore the first in the world is just amazing. I am so proud.”

So what’s next on the vaccine front in the U.S.? When can you expect to know more?

The Dow this morning was poised for over 100 points in losses–a departure from Friday’s record highs, which occurred despite the skyrocketing virus cases and the disappointing November jobs report.

A new bipartisan stimulus package is slated for release today, and it looks like it will get support from both President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

The CDC is imploring Americans to wear masks as the seven-day average of new cases is approaching 200,0000 a day. At the same time, two areas in California had to shut down when their ICUs had less than 15% capacity left.

As over 2,000 Americans lose their lives to the virus each day, the coordinator of the White House response warned what these staggering numbers mean for this country.

“This is not just the worst public health event. This is the worst event that this country will face, not just from a public health side,” Deborah Birx said.

Hospitals are becoming overburdened, and Nebraska Medicine Health System’s CEO James Linder went so far as to say that, “some [hospitals] may have broken.”

Birx implored Americans to be more cautious ahead of the holidays:

“We cannot go into the holiday season, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, with the same kind of attitude, that those gatherings don’t apply to me. They apply to everybody.”

Want to get a vaccine in exchange for stimulus? Here are the details

Imagine if you could get paid $1,500 to receive a virus vaccine. One $380 billion proposal seeks to make that a reality.

“We have to create, in my judgment, an incentive for people to really accelerate their thinking about taking the vaccine,” said John Delaney, the entrepreneur behind the idea. “If you’re still afraid of the vaccine and don’t want to take it, that’s your right. You won’t participate in this program. But guess what? You’re going to benefit anyhow, because we’ll get the country to herd immunity faster, which benefits you. So I think everyone wins.”

However, not everyone is as enthusiastic about the idea.

“It’s always nice to be able to kill two birds with one stone, but in this case I think the two birds are flying off in different directions,” said Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center Senior Fellow Howard Gleckman. “It’s going to be really hard to make it work.”

Just what are the details of this plan, exactly? Do you think it would work?

Investor attention next week will be split between fiscal stimulus and vaccine news.

On the stimulus package front, the forward momentum could carry into next week.

“It probably boils down to how much [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell is willing to deal, and I don’t know what the answer is to that,” said Mike Schumacher of Wells Fargo. “If it’s going to happen, next week is the week. The government runs out of money on Friday. Congress has to come up with a funding scheme.”

At the same time, investors are keeping their eyes on developments on the vaccine front, as the FDA discusses whether to grant emergency use authorization for the Pfizer solution on Thursday.

“They’re starting to roll it out in the U.K., and that’s something that’s going to be watched here to see how it unfolds. That’s the next issue for the market,” said Prudential Financial strategist Quincy Krosby.

What else is on the economic calendar next week, and how can you expect the markets to react?

5 things to know before the stock market opens today

The Dow Jones Industrial Average was on track for over 100 points in gains this morning as investors awaited the November employment report the government will release today. The data is expected to reflect about 440,000 new jobs added last month as well as an unemployment rate of 6.7% (more on that, below).

Meanwhile, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are resuming discussions about a stimulus relief package, and McConnell is hopeful a compromise can be reached before year’s end.

There was a snag on the vaccine front after supply issues forced Pfizer to re-evaluate how many vaccine doses it can actually distribute this year. That number is down to 50 million, versus the initial 100 million, they anticipated delivering.

And as the virus cases continue to skyrocket, with over 200,000 new cases yesterday alone, California has announced stay-at-home rules for certain regions.

The government’s look at November employment was due out today at 8:30 a.m., and analysts anticipated slower growth in jobs and a decreased unemployment rate when compared to October.

Unemployment would fall to 6.7% from its October rate of 6.9%, and the jobs added would tally only 440,000, after October’s 638,000.

However, today’s report could be the last bit of good news on the job front for a while. The December report will likely reflect less hiring for the holidays than usual.

“Our growth forecast for the first quarter is zero,” said Bank of America economist Michael Gapen. “There’s short term pain in front of us. We don’t think it will extend much past the first quarter if all the news on the timelines for the vaccine are correct. By the end of the first quarter, things will be looking much better.”

5 things to know before the stock market opens today

Stock futures were steady this morning as investors anticipated a potential bipartisan stimulus bill.

This morning the Labor Department shared the latest jobless claims report. Economists had anticipated the number to come in around 780,000. The new data comes just before the November look at employment, released tomorrow.

And yesterday’s data on jobs added to the private sector for November was a lot lower than anticipated.

Though Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell shot down the $908 billion virus relief package, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are standing behind it.

The continued stalemate comes as the U.S. tallies over 100,000 in hospitals nationwide (more on that, below), and the CDC director said the virus could take 450,000 lives by February.

Though there has been consistent, positive news on the vaccine front, the number of virus infections has continued to surge, and now the U.S. has hit a new, grim milestone.

There are more than 100,000 Americans in the hospital with the virus, according to data compiled by journalists at The Atlantic.

“I don’t think we’ve ever seen this number,” said the chief health care officer for the association of American Medical Colleges. “We certainly never saw this number with HIV or any of the other new diseases that we’ve had. It’s an astonishing, astonishing number and the shame of it is it’s a number that we could have impacted and we didn’t.”

How are healthcare workers coping?
