(FOX NEWS) – U.S. equity markets surged Tuesday morning amid investor optimism that members of Congress will overcome their differences to reach a deal on a $1.6 trillion COVID-19 stimulus package.
The upbeat sentiments were boosted by comments from President Trump, who said he supports reopening businesses sooner rather than later.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 1,770 points, or 9.5 percent, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite gained 8.6 percent and 7.4 percent, respectively.
The rally followed a plunge on the major averages Monday despite the Federal Reserve announcing it would buy unlimited amounts of assets to support the economy.
