Open: | 19.99 | | | Despite ongoing concerns about the spread of the coronavirus, U.S. stock futures were pointing sharply higher this morning as stocks continue to chip away at last Friday's losses. Monday's rally put the S&P 500 back into positive territory for 2020, and the projected gain for the Dow at the Tuesday open should do the same. Dow futures are currently projecting a 300+ point gain at the open. The Dow needs about 460 more points to erase that Friday slide.

The theme of his speech: "The Great American Comeback." (AP) | | | | The Republican-led Senate is poised to acquit Trump in a vote tomorrow afternoon.

(CNBC) | | | | Goldman Sachs (GS) is in talks to offer small business loans to merchants on Amazon's (AMZN) sprawling e-commerce platform.
