Stock futures edged in overnight trading on Sunday ahead of the final trading week of 2020. Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average won 80 points. S&P 500 futures gained by 0.4 percent and Nasdaq 100 futures traded 0.3 percent higher, CNBC reports. The move higher in futures came after President Donald Trump signed a US$900 billion virus relief bill into law, days after he suggested he would veto the legislation. Trump has criticized the bill’s US$600 direct payments to Americans, demanding US$2,000 checks instead.
