What mattered last week:

  • The S&P500 closed 1.30% higher on good earnings data, progress on vaccine rollouts, and rising prospects that a larger than previously anticipated US stimulus package will be passed.
  • Supported also by dovish comments from Fed Chair Powell reiterating that the goal remains full employment and that the US is a long way from that.
  • Volatility, as measured by the VIX index closed lower at 20.0.
  • U.S. 10-year yields rose 5bp to close near 1.215%.
  • Gold closed slightly higher near $1824.00.
  • Crude oil closed over 2% higher, near $59.47/bbl.
  • The ASX200 fell 0.50% to close at 6806.7, as news of a new lockdown in Victoria weighed on sentiment.
  • The AUD/USD rallied over 1% to close near .7760, supported by stronger risk sentiment and commodity prices.
