The Bank of England has a meeting on March 26 on interest rates. The European Central Bank and others around the world have already cut rates below zero, meanwhile, which limits their monetary policy firepower. But economists say they could make other moves, such as freeing up banks to lend more.An indicator of fear in the market, which measures how much traders are paying to protect themselves from future swings for the S&P 500, eased by nearly 16% in afternoon trading.
Healthcare stocks in the S&P 500 jumped 4.4% for the biggest gain by far among the 11 sectors that make up the index. UnitedHealth Group rose 9.5%, Anthem jumped 14.6% and Cigna climbed 10.6%.

Bernie Sanders on Pres. Trump’s pick of Pence to lead the nation’s coronavirus response. Bernie has Marianne Williamson, anti-vaxxers who claimed “praying” could stop AIDS speaking as the main guest at his rally tonight. He doesn’t care about this lmao Did Bernie consult doctors when he said orgasms will prevent cervical cancer in women? Bernie wouldn’t know science if it jumped up and bit him in the ass! Pence isn’t “running” the commission—he’s merely keeping it in the right direction while the scientists discuss and evaluate possible solutions.
