US Market View
U.S. stocks are seen opening higher Tuesday, with the tech sector expected to bounce back sharply after recent losses as vaccination optimism grows. Meanwhile, the House of Representatives will have the final vote on President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill on Tuesday after it passed the Senate with some revisions over the weekend. That clears the path for the president to sign it by next week. Adding to the positive news, the CDC said Monday that people who’ve been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 can meet safely indoors without masks. This announcement came with over 30 million Americans having received both doses of vaccines.
Crude prices had surged Monday, with Brent spiking above $70 a barrel, after an attack on Saudi Arabia’s oil facilities by Yemen-based forces. However, there was limited impact and prices ended the day lower. Gold found some support near the $1675 region and is edging higher on Tuesday. The yellow metal should remain resilient as the US dollar is set to resume its downtrend while real yields are not expected to march forward in the coming months.
USD/JPY has climbed from just below the 104.00-level at the end of January to a fresh intraday high of 109.20 which has brought the pair back to within touching distance of the high from last June.
