CFD Indices – US Indices Boosted By Gains in Amazon & Alphabet

Market News

  • U.S. stocks finished sharply higher for a second straight day on Tuesday, helped by gains in Amazon and Google-parent Alphabet ahead of their results and by optimism over progress on a U.S. pandemic relief package.
  • While Amazon ended the regular session up 1.1%, the company shocked investors after the bell with news that Jeff Bezos would move to the role of executive chairman in the third quarter and be replaced by Amazon Web Services head Andy Jassy as chief executive officer.
  • Russian authorities said they will be able to vaccinate about 700 million people this year with the Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine. Nations including India and Mexico are in talks to ink emergency deals to start administering the vaccine.

Market Views

  • Asian shares were mixed on Wednesday morning as governments around the world looked poised to boost spending to help economies recover from the coronavirus and vaccine roll-out programmes accelerated. Hang Seng index slid 162 points while Nikkei 225 index rose 155 points.
  • Spot silver rose 1.4% to $26.98 an ounce. That was a minor rebound from an 8% tumble on Tuesday, and analysts say the retail trader-driven rally to a near eight-year peak in the previous session has faded.
