58 Stocks Hit Highs Wednesday; White House Sets 48 Hour Goal on Fiscal Stimulus Deal

During trading Wednesday, 58 stocks traded to a 52-week high, while 15 stocks bottomed out at new 52-week lows. The S&P 500 is up 0.02% on the day so far. Stocks started the day trading higher, but have since slipped with major indices trading on either side of neutral. Positive news from DC in regards to further economic stimulus drove gains earlier today, with the White House setting a goal for a deal to be met within the next 48 hours. It remains unclear at this time if Senate Republicans will pass the bill, as they plan to vote on a $600 billion stimulus plan regardless of the fact that they are well over a trillion dollars off the bipartisan plan emerging from the White House and the House of Representatives. Additionally, New York state added 2,000 new covid cases, their highest jump since May.
