The S&P 500 is looking to hit a new record with stimulus in focus and the Fed keeping rates low, which support higher valuations. The index had a modest gain yesterday that pushed it to a new record. Futures are up 0.18% today aiming to hit a new record. Possible support of the move is the stimulus deal with top Congressional Democrats yesterday signaling a willingness for further compromise, and the White House this morning optimistic about the chance to quickly pass a slimmed-down deal. On the negative side, trade tensions are rising with China. The Shanghai Composite fell 1.45% in Wednesday action. Source: Seeking Alpha
