The news over the weekend made it seem actually likely that this stimulus bill would expire without a replacement.
The markets are unmoved.
Either they anticipate that this is just politics and that a compromise will be reached. Or they just don't care about a stimulus being passed one way or the other.
(There's also a bit of both ways causation here. If the markets tanked on anticipation of no stimulus, that would inspire Congress to pass a stimulus to stop the bleeding. But if the markets seem OK, then that reduces the pressure to pass a new stimulus.)
