Stocks fall as economic pain deepens
U.S. stocks declined on Friday as pandemic pressures intensified economic weakness ahead of a new stimulus push. The S&P 500 fell 0.7 percent to 3,768.25, the Dow dropped 0.6 percent to 30,814.26, and the Nasdaq slid 0.9 percent to 12,998.50. Treasury yields dipped while shoppers pulled back at holiday time, with retail sales in December falling 0.7 percent. President-elect Biden outlined a $1.9 trillion plan including $1,400 stimulus checks and extended unemployment benefits, as Democratic control in both houses raises questions about bipartisan support for the package.
