All three major U.S. stock indexes abruptly turned sharply lower on the news.
Trump's announcement comes on the heels of U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell warning of dire economic repercussions if Congress fails to pass additional fiscal stimulus. remarks delivered online to the National Association for Business Economics, Powell warned the U.S. economy could slip into a downward spiral if the coronavirus is not contained and Congress fails to deliver additional fiscal support to businesses and households. things that are obvious to us are that small businesses are closing and unemployment remains high in the service sector," said John Augustine, chief investment officer at Huntington National Bank in Columbus, Ohio. "The Fed aggressively wants to address both of those with more fiscal stimulus."
