The midcap Index Russel-2000 outperformed. The Tech shares partially recovered from its previous week most significant decline.
The European benchmark Indexes rose sharply about 2% to 5% boosted by the U.S massive stimulus package, and the European Central Bank (ECB) pledged to buy more bonds to counter rising borrowing costs. Italian Index FTSE-MIB outperformed despite the increased daily cases of Covid-19 and the complication in the vaccination. The U.K GDP shrank about 2.9% from its forecasting level of 4.9%.
The APAC benchmark Indexes remains in mixed movement. The Indexes ASX-200, Kospi-100, Nikkei-225 and Nifty-50 were closed higher, about 0.62% to 2.96%, as a weekly gain. Nikkei-225 Index outperformed. The value stocks in Japan continued to outperform the growth stocks. On the other side, the Indexes HSI-50 and Shanghai Composite Index declined sharply, about 1.5%.
