The bill authorizes direct checks of $600 for people earning up to $75,000 per year. 

The bill creates a new $300 weekly unemployment supplement and replenishes a forgivable loan program for small businesses.

There’s an additional $600 per child stimulus payment.

The news could put a bid under risk assets and weigh over the safe haven US dollar.
