Welcome to another edition of Leumi’s Weekly Reading List.
Another volatile week with headlines dominated by coronavirus and the impact on the economy, the stock and bond markets, US oil futures, and unemployment claims. And as expected, the Fed provided more economic support with President Trump signing a $484 billion bill granting relief to small businesses and hospitals. We will see what next week brings, but most importantly I hope that you and your loved ones are healthy and out of
harm’s way.
