Daily Market Outlook, July 21, 2020
<h2><span>Daily Market Outlook, July 21, 2020 </span></h2>
<p><span><strong>US equity market closed higher, supported by technology stocks in particular but also by reported falling pace of increases in coronavirus cases in the US and positive news on early-stage vaccine trials from Oxford University</strong>. Asian equity indices were mostly higher overnight, while futures markets point to a positive start to European trading. The main news overnight was that EU leaders agreed a €750bn recovery plan following marathon talks. The compromise in the end means that €390bn of the funds will be disbursed as grants, down from €500bn initially proposed, while €360bn will be given as loans to be paid back by individual countries. </span></p>
<p><span><strong>There is little in the economics calendar to excite financial markets today.</strong> UK June public finance figures were released earlier this morning showing net borrowing of £35.5bn (exbanks), lower than the consensus forecast for £38bn. Still, it compares with £7.2bn in the same month a year ago. Borrowing so far this financial year has totalled nearly £128bn and net debt has risen to 99.6% of GDP. </span></p>
<p><span><strong>The US Chicago Fed survey is expected to show a further improvement.</strong> Canadian retail sales are forecast to have bounced back by around 20% in June after plunging more than 25% in May. </span></p>
<p><span><strong>ECB Vice President Luis de Guindos and Bank of Greece Governor Yannis Stournaras take part in a panel discussion</strong>. With the European recovery fund agreed, investors will turn their attention towards details of a further stimulus package in the US. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are expected to start negotiations on the next virus relief plan.</span></p>
