Stocks Extend Overnight Gains On Slew Of Positive Fauci Comments

In what is a slightly different tack from his usual role as foil to President Trump’s optimism, Dr. Anthony Fauci has made a series of very optimistic statements this morning about the turning point of the pandemic and re-opening the economy sooner than many had feared…

• *FAUCI: BEYOND THIS WEEK, SHOULD SEE BEGINNING OF TURNAROUND

• *FAUCI: U.S. MUST KEEP PUSHING, MITIGATION EFFORT HAVING EFFECT

• *FAUCI: RIGHT NOW EXPECTED DEATHS LOOK LESS THAN THOUGHT EARLIER

• *FAUCI: WAS IN ROOSEVELT ROOM LAST NIGHT ON RE-ENTRY PLAN TALK

• *FAUCI: MAKES SENSE TO AT LEAST PLAN HOW RE-ENTRY WOULD LOOK

Admittedly, global deaths are growing at their fastest pace yet…

But still, US equity futures are rallying on these positive comments…

Next he will claim that hydroxychloroquine is safe for use too?
