US Market View
US stocks are seen trading slightly lower Tuesday, consolidating from record levels, with investors keeping a wary eye on the ongoing earnings season and ahead of Donald Trump’s second impeachment trial. All three major indices on Wall Street closed at all-time highs on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 have now advanced for six straight sessions, their longest win streaks since August, while the Nasdaq Composite has finished higher on five of those six days. Also helping the tone has been a largely positive earnings season so far, coupled with improving numbers on the pandemic. The United States reported a 25% drop in new cases of Covid-19 to about 825,000 last week, the biggest fall since the pandemic started, while deaths fell 2.5%.
Sino-US ties will stay tense as US President Joe Biden is unlikely to rush into new deals with the world's second-largest economy or reduce tariffs on China, even if he is willing to re-engage with multilateral trade, economists and strategists said.
