Congress agreed on a $900 billion coronavirus relief package after months of failed negotiations and is expected to vote on the bill Monday.

Without another Covid relief package, the economy could see a "slight downturn" instead of a "mild positive growth" in the first quarter of next year, added Cochrane.

"And then we get beyond the first quarter, maybe the vaccine gets spread at least enough to begin creating some improved confidence in the economy and we continue moving on," he said.International Monetary Fund in October forecast a 4.4% contractionThe large economic hit from the pandemic means that governments have little choice but to increase spending to support their respective economies, said Cochrane.

"This will be something that will weigh on the economy down the road in a couple of years," said Cochrane. "Hopefully the economy will be growing fast enough that the weight from a lack of government spending won't be enough to pull the economies down."

Trump’s market is going up everyday. The DoW, NASDAQ, S&P are at all time high even if they were overvalued before the pandemic. Mnuchin and Trump and the FED have put the future of our kids in jeopardy. It is unbelievable, Jared, Mnuchin and Trump said market high = election

Too little too late.
