The initial reaction of the dollar, the Treasury and the US stock market to the approval of the financial package
Investors are keen to buy and hold US dollars. In global markets and this month, the US dollar index has climbed to its highest level in four months. The US Senate has approved Biden's $ 1.9 trillion bailout package, and the House of Representatives is expected to approve it today and sign it by the end of the week.
Under a previous US government support program, $ 600 in subsidies were able to support US retail and consumer spending. This time, a $ 1,400 support payment is planned and is expected to support the US economy more than ever. According to the US government, approximately 98% of those who received the $ 600 payment will also receive the $ 1,400 government payment. In the meantime, the benefits for the unemployed have been extended. US government support, along with widespread vaccination in the United States, will support the US economic recovery.
Yesterday, the US stock market showed a vague performance in response to the approval of the government financial package. While the Dow Jones industrial average rose, the S&P 500 and NASDAQ stock indexes fell. It seems that in the current situation, investors are not interested in buying shares of technology companies. The US dollar has also reacted positively. US 10-year Treasury yields also rose above 1.60 percent. From a fundamental analysis point of view, the US dollar is expected to continue to grow and the main focus of the market will be on US inflation indicators. US inflation data will be released on Wednesday. Given that energy prices rose sharply in February, US inflation data is expected to be stronger than market forecasts.
