US Market View
U.S. stock markets are set to open lower later, as the prospect of rising bond yields feeds through into higher expected costs of capital for companies, something that depressed returns on equity. The House of Representatives plans to vote as soon as Friday on President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion stimulus, meaning the Senate could vote on it as soon as next week.
The potential for this bill has been boosting Wall Street for several weeks, but investors are starting to grow concerned that this additional liquidity, coupled with a very easy policy stance from the Federal Reserve, will result in a rapid rise in inflation.
This all puts the focus onto Federal Reserve Chairman Powell ahead of his two-day testimony to Congress, starting Tuesday, on the economic outlook and the central bank’s monetary policy stance. Oil prices climbed Monday as U.S. production returned only slowly from last week’s severe cold snap, further tightening a global market where inventories have fallen sharply in recent weeks.
USA Key Point
- Dollar lower, focus stays on yields ahead of North American trading
- ECB president Lagarde to speak later today.
- EUR/USD back to little changed on the day as dollar push and pull continues.

- Gold buyers keep the faith, price closes in on $1,800.
- Commodity currencies pare early gains.
- USD/CAD pares early losses, posts modest gains around 1.2620.
- NZD/USD retreats after spiking to multi-year highs, holds near 0.7300.
