Another 1.88 million Americans filed for unemployment benefits over the last week (compared to Dow Jones estimate of 1.78 million).

42.6 million citizens have now filed for unemployment since the start of the pandemic 11 weeks ago.

Here's how our experts - Chris Johnson and Shah Gilani - see things playing out in the economy, plus the stocks you can buy or sell to profit today.
