Market. In the we want to begin in washington, where the u. S. Passed a record 2. 2 trillion economic rescue package. The house will vote potentially on friday. Going this is kevin cirilli. Walk us through some of the highlights here. Kevin shortly before midnight, the senate, in a resounding 960 trillionsed the 2 economic stimulus bill. That puts pressure on the house of representatives to get this done quickly. Theres been some comments from farleft progressives and far right republicans that they may have some issues with this version of the bill. I do not it is about that being enough to significantly stop this from being passed, based upon my reporting. I can tell you that the likely vote will come friday, and President Trump has said he is going to sign this virtually immediately once it lands on his desk. Alix thanks so much. As i mentioned earlier, europe really stepping up its effort to deal with the fallout from the coronavirus. The latest is the ecb started buying bonds, but
Present some sort of model for the future course the coronavirus is expected to take. 180,000, overr 3000 people have died. I want to bring in our whatd you miss . Cohost romaine bostick. The s p had been rallying. What is the reason for the downward move today . Is it simply that there are no more places to hide . Romaine if you look at the higher,hat had moved defensive stocks, a lot of crowding. The worst quarter for the dow jones since 1987, the worst for the s p since 2008. Same thing for the nasdaq composite. The nasdaq 100 held up a little bit better. We are down about 14 on the nasdaq 100 for the quarter that just ended today, about 6 other than the s p and about 9 better than the dow. Over the course of the quarter, you had names like netflix and tesla rally more than 20 . Some of those large cap Genetic Sciences companies, those moving higher as well as gilead sciences. The in mind, a big reason nasdaq was down, we talk about this being a tech index but it has nontech names i
And global names are all taking it on the chin. The market itself is down close to 40 from highs reached a little more than a month ago. And this is feeding on itself. Now, the excuse de jure seems to be the fact that the senate could not cobble together a rescue package late last night. 2 trilliondollar package, democrats say was tilted too much towards businesses. Now theyre scrambling again to come up with something that might be more mutually acceptable. Questions whether it is too little too late. If you consider the 3 1 2 to 4 trillion that the Federal Reserve has provided through everything from cutting Interest Rates down to essentially zero to buying mortgagebacked securities, buying corporate paper, buying anything that they can get their who little hands on to get the cash in the system, that is what it is all about, get cash in the system so people dont feel theyre frozen out, or there is no money available, you hear a lot about this quest for liquidity.

Into the green at the close, about 0. 2 . The only real sector was actually consumer discretionary, but it was a pretty lopsided victory. Namesof the semiconductor actually moving significantly higher, up about 10 index was your outperform her. A lot of names that people think could benefit from the stay at home, work at home environment. Netflix, intel, a lot of those names.

As far as the treasury market, we continue to see some buying. 10 year yield 0. 795. The bloomberg dollar spot index is still higher on the day. 10th street day of games of gains on that index. Still with us, jack manley. Joe weisenthal, scarlet fu, still in their bunkers somewhere. Jack, when you look

Superlatives to compare past plunges, but everyone is trying to compare it to what experiences is this similar to. I have heard from people today, and no one had some obvious analogy, whether the cry natural whether the financial crisis, the wake of 9 11.
