Stocks climbed today, as President Trump says he will be discharged from the hospital this evening. The Dow jumped 1.68%. The S&P 500 rose 1.8%. The Nasdaq increased 2.32%.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin held an hourlong phone call Monday and discussed "the justifications for various numbers" and "plan to exchange paper" in preparation for further discussions on Tuesday, Pelosi's chief of staff said.
Optimism for reaching a compromise rose recently after Pelosi said Trump's diagnosis could change the dynamic of talks toward an agreement. Pelosi on Friday called on the airline industry to delay furloughs, saying additional relief for the industry is "imminent."
