Global equity markets are rallying as the spread of the coronavirus continues to slow while statistics show that Sanders victory in the New Hampshire primary increases the odds of a “market-friendly” Trump reelection in 2020.

Eurozone Industrial Production was soft in December with the headline falling -2.1% vs. (E) -1.8% but optimism for a 2020 economic rebound is offsetting the poor data point.

There are no notable economic reports today however there are two Fed speakers ahead of the bell: Harker (8:30 a.m. ET) and Daly ( 9:00 a.m. ET), while Powell will testify before Congress for a second day (10:00 a.m. ET).

Outside of the Fed speakers today, the Treasury will hold a 10-Yr Note auction at 1:00 p.m. ET and as has been the case recently, any sizeable moves in the bond market, especially that impact the yield curve, could influence stock trading in the afternoon.
