Stocks fell for a third day in a row on Thursday as hope for a U.S. coronavirus stimulus deal continues to decrease while infections across Europe are on the rise.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told CNBC's "Squawk Box" that he and President Donald Trump are committed to getting a stimulus deal done and that while it will be hard to get one done before the election, they will keep trying.
The uncertainty over new U.S. fiscal aid and disappointing economic data, along with the spike in coronavirus cases in Europe, came as investors waded through a slew of corporate earnings results.
Meanwhile, The Financial Times reported that France and the Netherlands are endorsing a plan for the European Union to curb the power of Big Tech, including by possibly breaking companies up.
Facebook led most of Big Tech lower, falling 1.9% amid rising regulatory concerns.
