Market Focus

US equities market climbed to record highs with weekly unemployment claims data and retail sales signaling a speedy recovery in the US. At the same time, the US yields declined the most since February. High expectations of a strong economic recovery, combined with optimism over fiscal stimulus and monetary policy, have boosted US equities to record high. All told, the Dow Jones Industrial Averages surged 270 points; the Nasdaq advanced 1.1% and the S&P500 climbed 0.9% today.

European stocks hit a fresh record high as the pan- European Stoxx 600 climbed to a high of 438.29 today, 55% jump from a pandemic low. European equity markets are set to benefit from an acceleration in euro area GDP growth over the upcoming months after the reopening and the recovery in the US. And the expectation for next year is that market earnings estimates are forecast to be above 2019 levels.

As the US bond yields declined today, investors signaled fresh concerns about when banks are going to get back to their original business, which is money lending. Bank of America has reported that there is a 14% decline in loan balance whilst Citigroup also mentioned that its loans tumble around 10%. Concerns are that whether the country’s biggest banks can meaningfully increase lending contributed to share- price declines today with Bank of America slumping as much as 4.6%.
