據3月15日彭博社報道，美股期貨和歐股走高，投資者關注全球經濟復蘇力度和疫苗供應取得進展。

美國航空集團（American Airlines Group Inc.）和嘉年華（Carnival Corp.）早盤上漲。美國鋼鐵公司(U.S. Steel Corp.)股價上漲，此前該公司表示，在強勁的市場環境下，預期收益將有所改善。旅游公司和汽車制造商領漲斯托克600指數，創下一年來最高水平。全球最大的酸奶生產商達能(Danone)在宣布將更換董事長后股價上漲5%。

布倫特原油價格突破每桶69美元，來自中國的經濟數據顯示，工業產出大幅增加，突顯出中國經濟“v”型復蘇的力度。

投資者仍專注于不斷上升的長期借貸成本及其對再通脹交易的影響，以及股市從增長型股票到價值型股票的轉換。美國基準國債收益率周一徘徊在1.61%左右。

摩根大通資產管理全球多資產策略師Patrik Schowitz在一份報告中稱，盡管股票和信貸的估值均有所上升，但風險資產很難不被看好，盡管上周市場步伐的變化可能也表明很多資產已經被定價了。

在美國，投資者也在考慮增稅的潛在影響，以及增稅會如何影響企業利潤增長。據知情人士透露，美國計劃自1993年以來首次大幅提高聯邦稅收，以幫助支付一項長期經濟計劃。預計白宮將提出一系列增稅方案。

美國財政部長耶倫(Janet Yellen)周日接受采訪時試圖緩解人們對通脹的擔憂，稱通脹風險仍然不大。

美國廣播公司(ABC)一檔節目報道，存在通脹風險，不過這是可控的。在美國新冠肺炎疫情蔓延時出現下跌的一些價格將會回升，但這只是價格的暫時波動。

在其他方面，比特幣在周末上漲后出現回落，其價格首次突破6.1萬美元。周一，最大的加密貨幣交易價格約為55500美元。

U. S. futures climb with European stocks and oil

U.S. futures and European stocks climbed, with investors focused on the strength of the global economic recovery and progress in delivering vaccines.

American Airlines Group Inc. and Carnival Corp. climbed in early trading. U.S. Steel Corp. advanced after saying it expects earnings to improve on the back of strong market conditions. Travel companies and automakers led the Stoxx 600 Index to the highest level in a year. Danone, the world’s largest yogurt maker, jumped 5 per cent after announcing it would replace its chairman.

Brent crude topped US$69 a barrel as economic data from China showed a surge in industrial output, underscoring the strength of its V-shaped recovery.

Investors remain preoccupied with rising long-term borrowing costs and their implications for reflation trades and the rotation in the stock market from growth to value shares. The benchmark Treasury yield hovered around 1.61 per cent on Monday.

While valuations across equities and credit are elevated, it’s hard not to be positive on risk assets, though “the change of pace in markets last week maybe also suggests a lot is priced already,” Patrik Schowitz, global multi-asset strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management, said in a note.

In the U.S., investors are also considering the potential impact of higher taxes and how that could affect corporate profit growth. President Joe Biden is planning the first major federal tax hike since 1993 to help pay for a long-term economic program, according to people familiar with the matter. The White House is expected to propose a suite of tax increases, mostly mirroring Biden’s 2020 campaign proposals, according to four people familiar with the discussions.

In an interview on Sunday, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen sought to assauge concerns about inflation, saying the risks remain subdued.

“Is there a risk of inflation? I think there’s a small risk and I think it’s manageable,” Yellen said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. Some prices that fell last year when the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the U.S. will recover, “but that’s a temporary movement in prices,” she said.

Elsewhere, Bitcoin pulled back after a weekend rally that sent prices above US$61,000 for the first time. The largest cryptocurrency was trading at about US$55,500 on Monday.
