*Stock data as of market close, cryptocurrency data as of 10:00pm ET. Here's what these numbers mean.

  • Markets: After getting roughed up in September, stocks have entered a fourth quarter that's typically been bullish for equities, with the S&P gaining four out of every five years since WWII. Merck’s announcement on Friday that its antiviral Covid pill lowered the risk of hospitalization or death by 50% dented high-flying vaccine stocks like Moderna, which fell more than 11% on Friday.
  • Government: Democrats will try to resolve internal divisions on how to proceed with Biden’s signature economic proposals—a $1 trillion infrastructure bill and a $3.5 trillion spending package. Plus, that debt ceiling deadline is coming up.
