Market News
- U.S. stocks rallied on Tuesday, with the Nasdaq surging about 4% to recoup heavy losses from the previous session as U.S. bond yields retreated and investors scooped up battered technology stocks. Tesla, Amazon and Microsoft are the biggest contributors.
- News that a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package was nearing final approval sparked a spike in yields on Monday, pushing the tech-heavy Nasdaq to end more than 10% below its Feb. 12 closing high, confirming a correction for the index.
- U.S. 10-year Treasury note yields eased to as low as 1.523% after hovering near 13-month highs of 1.613% on Monday. Longer-dated yields have jumped over the last month as investors price in a faster rebound and higher inflation that expected at the start of the year.
Market Views
- Asian markets were higher on Wednesday morning, as falling bond yields eased concerns about surging inflation, although focus will shift to Chinese markets amid worries about policy tightening in the world’s second-largest economy. Hang Seng index was up 5 points and Nikkei 225 index gained 12 points.
- Oil prices backed off early highs in choppy trading, with Brent dipping back to the $68 mark as investors weighed easing concerns over a supply disruption in Saudi Arabia with the likelihood of limited supply from OPEC+ output limits.

Outlook
Price rebounded after hitting the Fibonacci 161% projection level. However, there is an overhead support-turned-resistance that comes in at 12,730. Price has slightly penetrated this resistance level last night. Let’s see if it can stay above this level for three days to confirm the breakout. Else, we are likely to see price moving lower again. The 20EMA resistance is at 13,000. Stochastic is at the oversold region but MACD has turned bearish.
