US $1.8 trillion Support Package (25th March 2020)

US Support Package Announced

American President Donald Trump, and the Senate, have sanctioned a huge relief package for the American economy… worth more than $1.8 trillion (£1.5tn). This includes money to ‘bail out’ industries that have been affected by the coronavirus crisis.

It was described, by Republican Senate Majority leader (Mitch McConnell), as a “wartime level of investment” in the American economy.

On Tuesday, markets in the US had surged, jumping by 11.4% – the largest one-day gain since the Great Depression, in anticipation of a support package deal. This morning, shares have also risen in Europe on the news.
