Major indices started the week with explosive rally following an outburst of euphoria in China. Without a specific catalyst, the Chinese indices (including CHNComp) surged around 5% on state media report that the economy now needs “healthy bull market”. Clearly investors interpreted this as state intervention and it lifted sentiment on global indices as well. As a result US2000 surges by 2.8%, US30 1.8%, DE30 and US100 1.5% - the last one setting another all-time high. Investors chose to ignore new COVID related restrictions in Australia and Spain.
