The Senate adjourned on Monday and isn't set to reconvene until Nov. 9, putting to bed any remaining hope for a stimulus bill.

Investors watch the gauge to judge the level of risk or fear in the broad equities market. The index surged to a record high of 82.69 during the peak of the coronavirus sell-off in mid-March.
