Balloon drop replace with fireworks at the chase center in wilmington, delaware. Shifteek, the focus will to President Trump and the republicans. Tonight, some of the key moments that shaped the final night of the convention, even the speech by former Vice President biden, now the 2020 democratic president or nominee. In a moment, we will be joined with tom davis of virginia and the chair of the Michigan Democratic party. First, we want to turn once again to emily larson, who has been covering this for the washington eminem and her Washington Examiner. What is the first line in your story on the convention and joe bidens speech . The first thing that comes to mind for me is joe biden nailed it. This is a very important speech for him, considering hes been running for president for 33 years since 1987. It was
Overwhelmed hospitals in those states. Now the near is that is could, that is all really wall street had to hear. People are picking up out of stocks, theyre moving into things like gold, bonds. A 10year note, for example, where you want to know if people park their cash if they are nervous, remember this was starting the week at around 1 . We were getting very, very close. Gold up 25 bucks there but the 10year note for a while flirting with close to 1 . Now down to. 67. Yield goes down as the price goes up and thats what is happening right now. This could be shortlived. Could be a recognition we run up very far very, very fast, they are selling first, asking questions later. Particularly about the ramifications about all of this it this were to persist. This is not a coronavirus crisis. I hasten to here the levels are very low. Hospitalizations i checked out all the states theyre talking about. The actual hospitalizations themselves are very, very contained. It is the caseload that se
