"But effectively, the Senate is canceling out the beneficial effects of the Fed's actions."level to watch is 1,764, a more than 20% drop from current levels. The index has already seen a 35% plunge from its all-time highs hit in mid-February.
"Given all the stimulus, given our view that ultimately the virus will come under control — however long it ends up taking — is that stocks start to represent pretty reasonable values," Emanuel said. "We think you should be tip-toeing in with the expectation that you could go lower."
