Market futures point to a Tuesday rebound following Monday’s record sell-off after President Donald Trump floats stimulus, plus stocks to watch today in the Money and Markets Wall Street Wake-Up.

The Top Story

The morning after all three U.S. indexes posted record losses, a rebound may be in the offing.

On Monday night, Trump discussed the possibility of “a payroll tax cut or relief” to help stem the tide of the coronavirus on stocks.

Markets had an epic day of losses on Monday with the Dow Jones Industrial Average suffering its largest point drop in history (-2,013), while the S&P 500 fell 7.6% at Monday’s close.

What it means: The president’s mention of some kind of relief could be enough to start righting the ship after Monday’s tank job. However, there were no specifics as to how much those potential tax cuts would be or when they would be implemented — or if they even have a chance of getting through the Democrat-controlled House.

As it stands now: As of 8 a.m. EDT, Dow futures were up 4%. S&P 500 futures were also up 4% while Nasdaq futures moved 4% higher.

Brent and West Texas Intermediate crude prices were both up 8% in premarket trading hours after falling to near-record lows on Monday.
