EU Market View
Asian equity markets traded choppy following the mixed lead from Wall St where the DJIA outperformed to post a fresh record high. The $1.9 trillion stimulus package, which is expected to be signed into law before a March 14 deadline to renew unemployment support measures, stoked investor optimism of a more robust economic recovery. The sharp rise in rates continued to weigh on tech stocks, but some investors appear to be positioning for a rebound in the sector amid fading fears that the uncertainty in rates will be disorderedly. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Monday that President Joe Biden's coronavirus aid package would provide enough resources to fuel a "very strong" U.S. economic recovery and noted "there are tools" to deal with inflation.
Despite the positive cues, investors remain conflicted over whether the stimulus will help global growth rebound faster from the COVID-19 downturn or cause the world's biggest economy to overheat and lead to runaway inflation. U.S. economic data pointed to a continued recovery, as the Commerce Department said wholesale inventories increased solidly in January despite a surge in sales, suggesting inventory investment could again contribute to growth in the first quarter.
Looking ahead, highlights from macroeconomic calendar include Norges Bank Regional Network Report, BoE's Haldane, RBA's Lowe, Fed's Kaplan speech.
