The US stock market remains range-bound over the short term, and the confidence in the technology sector has yet to fully recover. Over the past 5 days ending Thursday, the NASDAQ underperformed with a 0.09% drop, while the Dow and S&P 500 rose 1.33% and 0.53% respectively. On the epidemic front, the global covid tally surpassed the 30 million mark, and some parts of Europe are showing a resurgence of the epidemic. US President Donald Trump said that the new covid vaccine would be available to Americans as early as October this year. On the other hand, the US Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged after the FOMC meeting, and hinted that low interest rates will continue at least until the end of 2023. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell noted that the US economic recovery is progressing faster than expected, but economic activity may still slowdown in the future, such that the economic outlook remains uncertain. Chairman Powell is scheduled to testify at three congressional hearings, along with US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Sept. 22, which would also involve discussions on the epidemic response. Next week, the US will release manufacturing and services PMIs for September.

As for Brexit trade deal negotiations, there has been some positive news. EU Chief Brexit Negotiator Michel Barnier told the EU 27 ambassadors that he still believes that both sides can reach an agreement, the market will keep an eye on that before the October deadline.
