Dow Jones Futures Today: Biden Stimulus Talks
After the stock market close Monday, Dow Jones futures and S&P 500 inched higher vs. fair value, while Nasdaq 100 futures edged lower. Remember that trading in Dow Jones futures and elsewhere doesn't necessarily translate into actual trading in the next regular stock market session.
Late Friday, the House voted to confirm the fast track of President Biden's $1.9 trillion stimulus package. The budget resolution allows the Biden stimulus plan to pass with a bare majority, instead of needing 60 Senate votes to avoid a filibuster.
President Joe Biden's Twitter account stressed the importance of acting quickly, "We don't have a second to waste when it comes to delivering the American people the relief they desperately need. I'm calling on Congress to act quickly and pass the American Rescue Plan."
Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the bill would be passed by the end of the month.
Among exchange traded funds, Innovator IBD 50 (FFTY) jumped 2.4% Monday. The Nasdaq 100-linked Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (QQQ) traded up 0.7%. Meanwhile, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) rallied 0.7%.

Stock Market Rally Overheating?
Looking back at the current uptrend, November was a key month for the stock market. IBD's The Big Picture flagged the new uptrend following the market's bullish follow-through day on Nov. 4. Meanwhile, the start of February has the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq and S&P 500 hitting record highs. But is the stock market rally overheating?
Monday's Big Picture warned, "Investors who've been buying on breakouts can enjoy the fruits of their trades, but have to ask themselves if the stock market is overextended. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 are close to piercing trends lines touching index highs stretching back to November. As the Big Picture has repeatedly noted, the Nasdaq's gap with its 50-day moving average is dangerously high."
It continued, "If the stock market will topple, one of the first signs will be erosion in the leading stocks. So far, those premium stocks are holding up well. The IBD 50 rose 1.4% and is near new highs."
Due to the recent strength, investors can shift back to an offense stance, with an understanding that there are still good reasons for caution. Look for stocks that are breaking out above new buy points, like Disney, Dropbox and Nvidia.
Focus on stocks that showed strong relative strength during the recent weakness. They could be some of the market's leaders if the indexes are able to continue their record-setting ways.
