US Market View
U.S. stocks are set to trade higher Tuesday, continuing the positive start to the week as tech continued its rebound as fears of a prompt policy move to combat inflationary pressures lessened and the reopening trade continued. The impact of the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in Europe was laid bare Tuesday by the latest growth figures from Germany, the region’s largest economy.
The German economy shrank more than expected in the first quarter, contracting by 1.8% quarter on quarter and by 3.1% on the year. Household spending fell by 5.4% on the quarter while the savings rate rose to a record high of 23.2%, as curbs linked to containing the pandemic made it hard for consumers to spend their cash. At the same time the U.K. posted a 31.7 billion-pound budget deficit ($45 billion) in April as the new fiscal year got under way, underlining the difficult position the pandemic has created to the country’s public purse.
The international outrage over the move by Belarus to force the landing of a Ryanair jet and arrest a dissident journalist shows no sign of dissipating any time soon. European Union leaders, meeting in Brussels on Monday, agreed to impose more sanctions on Belarus, including economic ones, called on their airlines to avoid Belarusian airspace and authorised work to ban Belarusian airlines from European skies and airports. The EU currently has a travel ban and an asset freeze in place on 88 Belarusians, including President Alexander Lukashenko, and 7 companies, over Minsk's crackdown on protests following a contested presidential election last year. U.S. President Joe Biden added to the pressure by stating that he had ordered his team to “develop appropriate options” to hold those responsible accountable.
