Bank Earnings Parade Continues, Yellen Heads To The Hill, And Inauguration Eve: The Biden Agenda

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber kicked off a holiday-shortened market week with a look at earnings from Bank of America and Goldman Sachs. They explored what the markets are likely to expect from the confirmation hearing for Treasury Secretary nominee Janet Yellen -- especially when it comes to her message on stimulus. With Wednesday's presidential inauguration in focus, the anchors discussed the Biden agenda, including the push for 100 million COVID vaccinations in the first 100 days of Biden’s presidency, and reports that he is expected to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline permit. Among the big movers: General Motors surging on news that Microsoft is entering a strategic partnership with the automaker’s majority-owned autonomous car unit.
