US Stocks Waver, Dwindling Stimulus Chances

Description

JOHANNES EISELE/AFP/Getty Images US stocks wavered on Friday as new commentary from the White House cut into hopes for pre-election stimulus. While House Speaker Nancy Pelosi indicated a bill could still be approved before Election Day, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin noted that "significant differences" remain between each side's respective proposals. The tepid session led the S&P 500 to post its first weekly loss in three weeks. Oil sank after Libya announced it will lift production. West Texas Intermediate crude sank as much as 2.6% to $39.57 per barrel.

  • US Stocks Dip Lower Over Stimulus Deal Talks

    US stocks dipped slightly on Wednesday as investors weighed the latest stimulus talk developments. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin failed to reach a deal before the deadline. According to Business Insider, the two are now working to finalize a proposal before the weekend. Senate Democrats rejected Republicans' $500 billion "skinny bill," leaving both parties stuck in a deadlock. Disagreements over a relief bill are still significant between the Republicans and Democrats. The White House recently offered a $1.9 trillion bill, coming in well below Democrats' $2.2 trillion package.
