ZFX: Bullish news again! Market sentiment was lifted
Review:
On Wednesday (April 8), market sentiment was lifted again due to the supportive news. Investors become active to move back into risky assets. Wall Street ’s three major indexes rose, of which the Dow and S&P 500 rose more than 3%.
The overall market trend is choppy, mostly dominated by the sentiment. The White House health advisor Fauci said on Wednesday that the US coronavirus outbreak situation should be improved next week, and President Trump also pointed out that the reopen of US economy will only be faster. Also, the announcement of Sanders ’withdrawal eliminated some uncertainties. All those news turned the market to be more bullish.
The Fed released the FOMC meeting minutes last night, showing that the new coronavirus outbreak has sharply deteriorated the economic outlook. Most of the members agreed to maintain interest rates at the current level for a period of time until they can see the economic recovery, achieving the goals of full employment and price stability.
ZFX analyst Jacob Leung said that this means the Fed will not make big changes to the monetary policy during the year, until getting rid of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, which maintains optimism.
In addition, before the OPEC+ Thursday’s meeting, Russia was reported to be willing to cooperate with production cuts, preparing to lower daily output by 1.6 million barrels, which is about 14% of Russian output. The market immediately expected that the world’s major oil-producers would soon reach an agreement of the production cuts. Oil prices soared, which the WTI crude futures closed higher over 6%.
ZFX analyst Jacob Leung said that in fact, it is still doubtful regarding the production cuts agreement as the prerequisites was still the participation of all major oil-producers, especially the US. Furthermore, whether the cuts are sizeable enough to stabilize the oil market is debatable, as now the market is predicting the global daily demand may have decreased by more than 20 million barrels.
According to the latest news, more than 1.5 million cases have been confirmed in more than 200 countries around the world, and more than 87000 people have died. ZFX analyst Jacob Leung said that the number is now expected to rise to 2 million next week. Although the situation is severe, the market still “prefers” to believe that the peak has passed, which investors should be cautious.
