Stock trader Thomas Ferrigno arrives to work at the New York Stock Exchange, Monday, Nov. 9, 2020. World markets rocketed higher after Pfizer said early data show its coronavirus vaccine is effective.

 

President-elect Joe Biden is set to take office in January. But even with a change in political power, two influenctial forces that have driven financial markets in 2020 will most likely stay the same: the Federal Reserve and the pandemic. In fact, stocks went soaring Monday after news of encouraging data about a potential COVID-19 vaccine.
