Biden expected to announce Fed Chair pick this week
S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at the highest levels on the record yesterday and US futures advanced further during the Asian session. Equities in Asia-Pacific also benefited from improvement in moods, setting ground for a higher opening of the European cash session today. Risk-on moods can also be spotted on the commodities market with gains being made by industrial metals and oil.
The day ahead looks calm with just some second-tier data scheduled for release. Canadian retail sales report at 1:30 pm GMT may have some short-term impact on CAD. There are 2 non-data events to look out for and neither is certain to happen today. Firstly, Democrats in the House of Representatives want to hold a vote on a $1.9 trillion stimulus plan. Secondly, President Joe Biden is expected to announce his next Fed Chair pick this week. However, Biden did not provide a specific date and time of the announcement and it cannot be ruled out that he may want to wait until markets close, not to cause unnecessary volatility.
