Dow Jones Rallies After Stimulus Bill Signed; Apple Stock Surges Despite Car Concerns

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) surged on Monday following news over the weekend that President Donald Trump had signed a stimulus and government spending bill that had been in limbo since it passed Congress last week. The Dow was up about 0.8% at 11:50 a.m. EST.

Mega-retailer Walmart (NYSE: WMT) will certainly benefit from the stimulus package as its lower-income and unemployed customers receive a financial boost, although the stock trailed the market on Monday.
