CFD Indices – Expectations For A New Fiscal Relief Bill Send US Indices To A New All-time High.

Market News

  • Wall Street’s main indexes rose to all-time highs on Friday as data showing the slowest U.S. jobs growth in six months raised investors’ expectations for a new fiscal relief bill to help revive the coronavirus-hit economy. Dow Jones rose 248 points, S&P 500 was up 32 points and Nasdaq Composite gained 87 points.
  • President-elect Joe Biden said Friday’s “grim” jobs report shows the economic recovery is stalling and warned the “dark winter” ahead would exacerbate the pain unless the U.S. Congress passes a coronavirus relief bill immediately.
  • Investor focus is on a last-ditch attempt by Britain and the European Union to strike a post-Brexit trade deal this week, with probably just days left for negotiators to avert a chaotic parting of ways at the end of the year.

Market Views

  • Asian shares retreated from a record peak on Monday morning after a Reuters report U.S. was preparing to impose sanctions on some Chinese officials highlighted geopolitical tensions, while oil prices fell on surging virus cases. Hang Seng index plunged 476 points and Nikkei 225 index fell 106 points.
  • U.S. was preparing sanctions on at least a dozen Chinese officials over their alleged role in Beijing’s disqualification of elected opposition legislators in Hong Kong. The move comes as President Donald Trump’s administration keeps up pressure on Beijing in his final weeks in office.

There could be divergence warning given from the MACD that warned for the top, and if a correction happens, we could see price moving lower towards the 20EMA at 12,170. Stochastic is at the overbought region. MACD is still bullish but is also relatively weak.
