[The Hill] Stock futures rose Sunday evening in overnight trading shortly after President Trump made an appearance in a motorcade outside Walter Reed National Military Medical Center where he is recovering from the coronavirus.Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 150 points, while S&P 500 futures and the Nasdaq 100 futures both rose about 0.5 percent.
President Trump tweeted a video earlier Sunday, saying he was "getting great reports from the doctors." He then waved to supporters outside the hospital in a brief outing in a motorcade with Secret Service.
Replying to a tweet asking why Trump, while sick with COVID-19, would leave the hospital, Marketplace's Kai Ryssdal tweeted: "Because futures start trading at 6pm East Coast time."
