Markets bounced back on Tuesday after Monday’s dismal start to the holiday week. All the major averages initially dipped on Monday on news that the Biden Administration’s Build Back Better legislation had practically no chance of passing. While deciding not to inject another couple trillion dollars into an economy that’s already staring down a serious inflation problem appears to be the prudent call, many are still upset at this prospect.
