Dow Jones Futures Today: Biden Stimulus Talks
After the close Monday, Dow Jones futures and S&P 500 futures rallied 0.35% apiece vs. fair value. Nasdaq 100 futures were up 0.6% vs. fair value. Remember that trading in Dow Jones futures and elsewhere doesn't necessarily translate into actual trading in the next regular stock market session.
Late Monday, President Biden met with a group of 10 Republican senators at the White House to discuss a bipartisan stimulus deal. After the meeting, Sen. Susan Collins said she was "hopeful" about a potential stimulus deal; however, concrete progress was not detailed.
Collins told reporters after the meeting, "I wouldn't say that we came together on a package tonight … no one expected that in a two-hour meeting."
On Sunday, the group proposed a $618 billion package, far less than Biden's $1.9 trillion plan. The Republican plan includes new stimulus checks of $1,000 per person, depending on income level.
Among exchange traded funds, Innovator IBD 50 (FFTY) jumped 3.1% Monday. The Nasdaq 100-linked Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (QQQ) traded up 2.5%. Meanwhile, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) rallied 1.6%.

Stock Market Pulls Back, Finds Support
Looking back at the current uptrend, November was a key month for the stock market. IBD's The Big Picture flagged the new uptrend following the market's bullish follow-through day on Nov. 4. Meanwhile, the start of February has the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq and S&P 500 trying to find support near key levels during the current pullback.
Friday's Big Picture commented, "The major stock indexes experienced a sharp sell-off Friday, ending the week on a down note. Top growth stocks were hit hard and the Nasdaq fell through a key support level, resulting in a stock market downgrade."
Due to the recent weakness, it would be a great time to play some defense. Weakness can snowball, so it's usually best to get off margin to avoid outsize losses. Meanwhile, you can reduce some exposure by cutting positions that show a loss after recently breaking out.
Focus on stocks that showed strong relative strength during last week's sell-off. They could be some of the market's leaders if the indexes are able to rebound.
