Stocks rally amid relief hopes as Senate bailout battles unfold
Stocks gained for a second day on optimism over a $2 trillion rescue package but late-day wrangling in Congress cooled the rally. The S&P 500 rose 1.2 percent, with two-day gain at 10.6 percent, while lawmakers and market watchers weighed delay risks and the infection surge. Authorities warned the road to a bottom remains uncertain as the death toll nears 20,000 in the U.S. and infections exceed 450,000 globally.
