Good morning, investors! The day ahead looks promising for U.S. and global markets with several positive indicators coming into play.
The job market is glowing as the unemployment rate continues to decline and job growth remains steady in many sectors across the country. This has been reflected in stock prices that have seen an increase over recent weeks as confidence grows among investors that economic recovery is on track despite some lingering challenges from the pandemic’s effects on certain industries like hospitality and travel.
Crude oil prices are also popping due to increased demand from countries around the world looking to rebuild their economies after a difficult year of lockdowns and restrictions caused by Covid-19 health concerns. This has helped lift energy stocks, which had suffered significantly during 2020 but now appear poised for gains going forward into 2021 thanks to rising crude prices worldwide.
Finally, we’re seeing strength in the dollar against other major currencies, such as Euro, Yen, Pound Sterling, etc., indicating investor confidence about prospects for continued U.S economic growth this year compared with other nations still struggling under pandemic conditions or those dealing with Brexit related issues like Britain’s exit from European Union trading bloc at end of December 2020. All these factors point towards a bullish outlook today so make sure you stay tuned throughout the day ahead!
