EU Market View
Asian equity markets eventually traded mostly lower as underperformance in tech sapped the early momentum from stimulus progress. European stock markets are seen opening mixed Monday, with investors fretting about higher U.S. Treasury yields even as hopes for a global economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic grow. Equity markets have been boosted over the last few months by the expectation that loose fiscal and monetary policy will give a powerful boost to the economic recovery, but optimism has been tempered by fears over rising inflation and interest rates.
U.S. Senate passed the $1.9 trillion stimulus package, proposed by President Joe Biden earlier this year, over the weekend. This raises the likelihood that this bill will be passed into law before enhanced jobless benefits expire on March 14.
GBP/USD holds lower ground near 1.3820. With 82 coronavirus (COVID-19) related deaths in Britain, the lowest since October 2020, Britain is confident of easing the virus-led activity restrictions.
Looking ahead, highlights from macroeconomic calendar include ECB asset purchase data, BoE's Bailey speech.
