The Breakfast Briefing: Futures Soar 200 Points As Markets Get Ready To Rally On Tax Plan Progress

Ted

FYI: U.S. stock markets were gearing up for a sharp rebound on Monday, as Dow Jones Industrial Average futures soared more than 200 points. The gains came as investors shifted their focus away from political tensions in Washington and cheered weekend news that Senate Republicans passed a sweeping overhaul of the U.S. tax code.
