US OPEN: Wall Street higher on coronavirus slowdown hopes

5:10 pm 6 April 2020

• US stocks rally at the open
• Rate of new coronavirus cases and deaths is slowing
• Spotify (SPOT.US) rating downgraded
 
US indices rose sharply on Monday. Market sentiment has been improved by President Trump's statement that  signs of a coronavirus pandemic  is beginning to stabilize. New York State reported that for the first time in a week virus-related deaths in the state had fallen slightly. On Sunday  594 coronavirus deaths were recorded, less than 630  on the day before. Number of fatalities in other countries around the world also gave some hope that social distancing measures are working.
Oil prices fell when doubts arose as to whether the world's largest producers would agree to reduce production.
The meetings of President Donald Trump with the heads of the US oil industry did not bring any decisions regarding US production cuts, which both Saudi Arabia and Russia consider as a precondition for any cuts on their part.
Therefore, the OPEC + meeting was postponed to Thursday. Over the weekend President Trump raised the possibility of protecting US oil producers by raising import duties on foreign oil.
