Biden on Monday is expected to sign “two executive orders to advance gender equity and opportunity for women,” according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki. Coming on International Women’s Day, the orders will establish the White House Gender Policy Council and direct the Education Department to review its policies for consistency with the administration’s policy to guarantee education free from sexual violence, the White House said.

As MarketWatch reports, U.S. stocks  largely gained ground Monday, though weakness remained among tech-related shares  that are seen as most vulnerable as government bond yields extend their climb following Senate passage of a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package.
