Market implications
Stocks may soon grow tired of hearing 'tomorrow' every day, as it never seems to arrive.
However, it is inevitable that a stimulus package will be made available but the uncertainty of the US elections and the possibility of a contested outcome, thus the delay in a package is what will concern investors the most.
Meanwhile, the US indexes ended lower on the day as stimulus hopes faded into the close, assisting the greenback to come off its lows.
