Look at that very seriously in the context of the European Union in the context of the region as a whole theres a lot of Free Movement and therefore those principles it may require and shutting down and restricting movement and having stay at home orders in order to take the heat out of this phase of the pandemic we can avoid National Lockdowns we can avoid massive restrictive movements if everyone plays their part it means individual sacrifices and in many parts of europe and in north america in particular there are many things that each of us can do the decisions that we make every day about avoiding crowded space. This is about avoiding in close settings for prolonged periods of time about postponing some of those gatherings that we may want to have and its sacrifices that we all have to make. And pharmaceutical giant pfizer says its late stage hope in 1000 vaccine trial is nearly fully enrolled the companys phase 3 trial is just 2000 volunteers shy of the 44000 needed the company said during an Earnings CallTuesday Morning pfizer and biotechs drug is viewed as one of the worlds most promising vaccine candidates while the company had said it hoped to have data on the efficacy of the vaccine by the end of this month during the call pfizer c. E. O. Albert borlase said this of the situation in case of a conclusive read out we will inform the public as soon as we complete the necessary administrative work which we estimate to be completed within one week from the time we know so with all of this in mind lets go ahead and take another look at the trends and spread of the virus globally with r. T. Correspondent sized passenger so where are we to sit right now more than 44000000 confirmed cases globally and more than 1 point one deaths globally the us now is leading the way in the number of cases and also deaths now on monday the us reported more than 74000 new cases pushing the daily average above 71000 now thats up 22 percent compared to last week 40 percent compared to 2 weeks ago the most in any 7 days stretch since the beginning of the pandemic brant now deaths there are also up 14 percent with 534. 00 new deaths reported on monday now anticipate seeing a lot more deaths being reported in the coming days because thats tend to rise a few weeks after a rise of infections meanwhile the number of people hospitalized with over 9000 is also on a 2 month high which has been straining health care. Several states now theres also a increase in new cases surging in the midwest right now michigan wisconsin brasco there are 3 states where cases are rising very quickly meanwhile new cases in michigan have more than doubled in the last week while nebraska and wisconsin both have one of the highest rates of test positivity in the nation brant now outside of the u.

Restrictions currently in place than anywhere in europe yet have seen the surge and cases lastly spain theyre planning on raising taxes on Large Companies and wealthy people to fund the increased spending thats needed on a social care associated with cobra 19 so as you can see World Leaders theyre facing a very difficult task of controlling the virus while really trying to keep their condom use afloat brandt and sar we just talked about pfizer but what about the other manufacturers who are in stage 3 trials so currently 4 of the u. S. Backed pharmaceutical come from are Suitable Companies theyre working on a vaccine all of them in phase 3 except for the pfizer which you mentioned theres astra zeneca and the johnson and johnson again how you mentioned earlier pfizer is that the most advanced stage right now so where theyre expected to apply for an emergency use or authorization of the food and Drug Administration next month of course that could always change as we saw some of these Companies Facing side effects of last minute so while that is all good news theres also some bad news so shaded with cool with current covert 1000 treatment the u. S. Government has just put an early end to a study testing of a lilly antibody drug for people hospitalized in 1000 because it simply doesnt seem to work and this is really a said back from one of the most promising treatments out there right now brant are 2 correspondents tabular thank you for keeping us up to date. And it looks like the prospects for another coronavirus stimulus package before the u. S. Elections next week are pretty much out the window as the senate has adjourned following the confirmation of any tony barrett to the u. S. Supreme court the move came on monday the same day u. S. Markets saw their largest single day drop since Early September so what does this lack of a relief package mean for the immediate future of our equity. In the economy lets get some expert analysis from c. E. O. Of registered bill intelligence and former fed insider danielle de martino booth and managing director of the Market Gauge Group and author of the bestselling book plant your money tree a guide to growing your wealth and Michelle Schneider thank you both for joining us today i want to start with you here now that it looks like another relief package is not going to happen before the election unless something miraculous happens here what will be the impact in the near term for the u. S. Economy and markets. Well you know its interesting and there is a new gallup poll out today that showed that american the amount of money that theyre going to be spending over the Holiday Season which is critical given that the back to School Holiday shopping season was weaker than it would have otherwise been but it showed that the amount that americans are planning to spend this Holiday Season is going to hit a 4 year low and that is obviously before gallup took that poll that survey before weve seen this latest setback in the stock market if this is to continue then theyll even be more of pressure ringback on consumption on the u. S. Economy again were talking about 20000000 some odd americans who are to continue to collect Unemployment Benefits whose whose actual take home per week if you will has really been eviscerated its a fraction of what it was prior to the 1st 2 amounts of stimulus that bolster what they what the unemployed to come on a weekly basis on top of that there is nothing that weve found since the outbreak of the current virus that is more that is more debilitating the pressures of American Consumers more than seeing case counts especially hospitalizations rise as youve been reporting during your 1st block. Obviously seems when we talk about the stimulus package we also talk about those 1200. 00 stimulus checks which have been part of the previous package and were supposed to be part of this next package and when we look at Holiday Spending obviously that is a concern when you really want to stimulate the economy put money in peoples hands and unfortunately that does not look like its going. Happen before the election and before the Holiday Season for sure michelle i want to get to you here now u. S. Equities have been mostly muted tuesday after mondays sell off the nasdaq has been able to remain positive ahead of a big earnings week for big tech and this tech has been one of the best performers amid the pandemic investor David Einhorn hes calling the Current Situation a huge tech bubble that actually popped on september 2nd 2020 in Early September but is it really the top or sentiment just really shifting from greed to complacency with tech. Well 1st of all lets just take a look at it from a technical perspective monday there was a huge range expansion in all of the indices and the nasdaq and give to kill our clothes underneath a key moving average which a lot of traders look at the 50 Day Moving Average so to answer the question whether or not we topped what makes it even more interesting is that today the price action was inside the range of yesterday so that generally spells indecision which makes a lot of sense so as far as just looking at it from a technical perspective if we break down under mondays lows lets say on wednesday we will see follow through how much follow through remains to be seen now in terms of the whole tech sector right now considering netflix reported last week and was disappointed in terms of the price action just as we were speaking microsoft reported an even though it be its basically going down from where it closed and theres no really great prospects i think for the all the facts stocks that are about to report like apple and amazon and facebook because theyre already behemoths are not that much upside so what we saw coming into this week was some kind of a rotation out of Growth Stocks anatomy tech into the you but we also have to remember given the fact that were in a cold war the were a good home situation is likely to remain for quite some time so that might actually set up opportunities not necessarily for these behemoths but maybe for some of the newer tech stocks or the stocks like for example fastly which reports tomorrow ill have you know eyes on that one. And you know i want to look at the long term able to get your crystal ball out here because if there is a change in power in washington which is possible and nothing gets done to stimulate the economy during a lame duck session between the election and when the new president and congress were to take power if the feds going to be able ready to step up in intervene further to hold off another market bleeding what are you seeing there. Well you know since you asked the Federal Reserve has some some Credit Facilities that expire on december 31st so that would be within the lame duck if there is a change of power in washington my concern is that extending these Credit Facilities that are largely untapped that has to be agreed upon to go past new years day by the treasury and the fed i do see a risk of that not occurring again if there is a change in power as you suggest if that is the case what were looking at as it is best Case Scenario thats if that if the new congress get seated and has a stimulus package ready to go on day one youre talking about money not getting to people until valentines day at the earliest 2021 and again the fed has been exceedingly pleat full in recent weeks saying we really do need more stimulus passed because the one thing that they know that does work so well is Old Fashioned i cant believe were calling it Old Fashioned at this point but Old Fashioned quantitative easing but in order for there to be a large appreciable growth in the feds Balance Sheet there has to be more treasury issuance and without more stimulus spending there isnt more treasury issuance so its a matter of the fed not having enough product out there to buy given the limited amount of treasuries that are right now in circulation so the feds tool box is extremely limited until the fiscal authorities can get their act together and get stimulus spending passed again that could not arrive until were looking at the next of the next of the next holidays valentines day show we dont like to make the show so much about politics but obviously as we. Get a president ial election coming up just a week away its going to eating up all of the headlines at this time so in your opinion and what youre seeing what are investors looking at when it comes to this election and the turnout at the end. Well it seems like the market is actually hedging for either candidate to win because we saw coming up into this we are looking more like a biden when people were buying more alternative energy selling oil and gas and there was a rotation into the small caps which would really be manufacturing given the fact that they probably would assume by train wars with china might ease up but then weve got into this week now were seeing that little bump in growth comparative to the value and we saw our oil and gas go up today so i think were going is actually generally confused at this point whats really more interesting to me though is go its going to happen if we have a republican president and a senate that goes blue or vice versa or we have a democratic president and the Senate Remains in a republican state and then we have gridlock and that would be something that would be very hard for the market to reconcile with definitely and certainly might have a negative impact to the whole market because nothing will get done but i do agree that there will be some stimulus and so it will really be a matter of whether or not its with a republican i or a democratic i what gets passed one to agree with danielle here it is absolutely necessary that something gets passed or will really become a dangerous situation and the other thing really will be to watch the sector rotation as we get past the election then i would expect volatility up until that point as were starting to see and thats why we saw a big point lets say take a huge run up in the last few days as some kind of safety play bonds have come back into play with the t o ts and gold even looks like now after being stagnated might be ready to go up so its volatile and we may not really know the answer to all of that for at least another week or 2 former fed insider. Letter of the market we could have talked about this for hours thank you both for you. Thank you thank you brant.
