ZFX: US stock market jumped over 7%! Signs of the pandemic slowing
Review:
On Monday (April 6), the market sentiment improved significantly, as the data shows that the trend of the pandemic in Europe and the US is slowing down, boosting the investor confidence. Risky assets were benefited due to the risk appetite, and the three Wall Street indexes all rose 7%.
At the beginning of Monday’s opening, US President Trump said that seeing signs of the coronavirus outbreak in the United States has begun to level off. Market sentiment turned much better and the stock markets in the Asia-Pacific region were generally good. The uptrend was finally maintained in the US trading session.
According to the latest information, more than 1.3 million cases have been confirmed in more than 200 countries around the world, and more than 70000 people have died. However, the figures also show that the increase of the confirmed cases and deaths has slowed down, meaning that the pandemic situation may become stable.
ZFX analyst Jacob Leung said that although the number will keep rising at least in the near future, the market view is that the worst scenario may have passed, and the timing was earlier than the market expected, which can definitely boost the confidence. Furthermore, there was no important figures releasing these days in the US, which also brings “room” for the upward move.
However, it is still doubtful whether such positive sentiment can be maintained or not in the coming days. Even though the peak of the global pandemic may have passed, it does not mean that the overall situation has greatly improved, nor the global economy can quickly get rid of the severe recession. IMF has warned that the global economic recession will be more severe than the one during the 2008 financial tsunami. In addition, the market will keep monitoring the oil prices this week as it is still an unknown factor whether the OPEC+ can reach a consensus for the production cuts.
ZFX analyst Jacob Leung said that even if the pandemic can smoothly come to an end, the whole investment market will still need to be alert the subsequent impacts. Excluding the extraordinary bad figures showed in the future, it should be cautious that the current global economy is actually supported by a number of bailout measures earlier. The ” side effects ” would be likely to have more to come.
