US Market View
U.S. stocks are seen opening largely unchanged Friday, consolidating after record closing levels the previous session, but sentiment remains positive as corporate earnings impress and economic data point to a robust recovery. Global stocks hit a record high on Friday and oil climbed after strong U.S. and Chinese economic data bolstered expectations of a solid global recovery from the coronavirus-induced slump. Government stimulus, a string of strong corporate earnings releases and signs of economic recovery in countries ahead in the COVID-19 vaccination race have all helped push stock markets onto new heights in recent days.
Euro zone finance ministers are discussing on Friday how to improve and possibly unify insolvency laws across the 19-nation bloc, to better prepare for a wave of bankruptcies expected when companies are weaned off government emergency pandemic support. The expected surge in EU corporate bankruptcies will have a knock-on effect on the number of bad loans banks have to handle as the post-pandemic economic recovery starts to take hold and governments begin withdrawing state schemes that are now keeping many non-viable companies on life support.
USA Key Point
- The CHF is the strongest and the NZD is the weakest.
- China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission defends Huarong's financial status.
- EUR/USD holds a little higher but still faces resistance closer to 1.2000
