The Dow Jones Industrial Average was slated for a 200-point open this morning, indicating there could be another positive day for the benchmark after last week’s poor performance.
However, GameStop, which garnered massive attention last week as retail investors forced a short squeeze, continued to plummet during premarket trading today. Shares slumped 40% this morning, after yesterday’s 30% dip. Last week, shares were going for $483 apiece at one point, but are now down to $133 each. Robinhood had to find $2.4 billion in order to keep up with the frenetic trading.
Pfizer also shared its latest financial data this morning, but shares remained steady as investors digested the mixed results (more on that below).
Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress are not wasting any time as they move ahead with reconciliation, which would allow President Joe Biden to pass his massive stimulus bill without GOP support.
And travelers will have to wear masks, or could face a fine, while using public transportation.
