US bond yields have retreated, but the global epidemic is showing signs of resurgence. As the Fed Chairman has said that the Fed will gradually reduce bond purchases “when the economy is all but fully recovered”, global equities went lower, led by the technology sector. The Dow, S&P 500, and NASDAQ fell between 0.15% and 1.06% over the past five days ending Thursday. While vaccine distribution has made visible progress, the global epidemic has taken a turn for the worse, and investors are weighing the prospects of economic growth and inflation. U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said he would not stop the extraordinary monetary policy support until the economy is close to a full recovery, but also said he would gradually reduce bond purchases as concrete progress is made towards economic goals. The 10-year yield on Treasuries has now fallen back to around 1.62%. Next week, the US will release data on consumer confidence, the ISM manufacturing index and the unemployment rate, all of which are expected to improve significantly.

The market is concerned about the Mainland's monetary policy, as the PBOC reiterated the need to maintain a stable, flexible, precise, and reasonably appropriate monetary policy.
