US Market View
U.S. stock markets are indicated to open higher on Friday at the end of a topsy-turvy week in which the initial euphoria on finding an effective vaccine against Covid-19 has buckled under the weight of the bleak short-term outlook. Overnight, Chinese stocks had fallen after the Trump administration issued a new blacklist of companies deemed to be facilitating the Chinese military. U.S. entities will be banned from investing in the companies.
European markets were mixed, supported by confidence in more stimulus from the European Central Bank but held back by growing doubt over the ratification of the 750 billion-euro EU Recovery Fund.
The number of new infections of Covid-19 in the U.S. hit 150,000 for the first time, as cities and states moved at various speeds to contain the latest wave of coronavirus. China beat the Republican Party to congratulating Joe Biden on his election victory, nearly a week after the counting process all-but confirmed the results of Tuesday’s vote.
