U.S. stocks were indicated higher Tuesday as investors watched progress toward President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package and data showing falling COVID-19 cases, which fell to their lowest level in four months on Presidents Day.

What’s driving the market? Markets are reflating, with benchmark bond yields on the rise as investors await a COVID relief package that could include the inclusion of a gradual increase in the minimum wage to $15 an hour over four years, a controversial proposal for Republicans. Meanwhile, COVID-19 case numbers have been declining. The U.S. averaged 85,798 new cases a day in the past week, down 41% from the average two weeks ago.

The energy problems sent oil and natural-gas prices to their highest levels in months, with West Texas Intermediate CL.1, +0.35% up 0.8% near $60 a barrel, while Brent oil, the international benchmark BRN00, -0.41%, was above $63 a barrel and natural gas prices NG00, +6.08% were up over 6% on the day.
