Can US stocks keep rising without stimulus bill?

US stocks fell last week, breaking a three-week winning streak as the odds of passing a novel coronavirus relief bill before the Nov 3 presidential election were slim even as Covid-19 cases proliferated.

This week, there's likely to be more selling, unless the stimulus legislation is passed.

Last week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin made it sound like the deal was all but done.
