The U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote by the end of the week on President Joe Biden’s proposed package to promote coronavirus. That would include a ના 1,400 check for most Americans, additional payments for children and billions of dollars in aid to state and local governments, as well as additional assistance to businesses affected by the epidemic.
“But time is everything.” Axina’s Stephen Ince said in a comment. He noted that inflation concerns are weighing heavily on the market, as the economy recovers from the epidemic as the Biden administration seeks to recover millions of lost jobs.

Last week, the S&P 500 extended its losing streak to close at 0.90% on Friday at 3,906.71. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite remained essentially flat, while other strong performances by smaller companies pushed the Russell 200 Index to a 2.2% strength. Meanwhile, Asian stocks mixed on Monday, with Japan’s benchmark rising but others slipping, amid some hopes of recovering from a global rollout of vaccines from the coronavirus epidemic.
Benchmarks rose in Japan but fell in South Korea, Australia and China. Investors are focusing on the global economies badly affected by COVID-19 and whether and when there will be enough stimulus to improve it.

But the US 1. 1.9 trillion economic package proposed by President Biden also reassures the hopes of an export-oriented regional economy.
Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 rose 0.6% to 30,203.61. South Korea’s Kospi fell 0.8% to 3,082.45. Australia’s S&P / ASX 200 fell 0.2% to 6,780.90. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng fell 0.5% to 30,479.73 while the Shanghai Composite fell 1.0% to close at 3,658.59.
Japan began vaccinating for COVID-19 last week. Starting with health workers, it is the last of a group of seven industrialized nations. The prospects for further transmission of the vaccine remain uncertain, according to Taro Kono, a Japanese minister tasked with overseeing the effort.
Other Asian countries, such as Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines, are set to begin vaccination drives soon.
