Asian stocks scaled to record highs on Thursday as investors were hopeful the incoming Biden administration will be able to secure passage of a massive new stimulus package to cushion the economic damage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Republicans in the U.S. Congress have indicated they are willing to work with President Joe Biden on his administration's top priority, a $1.9 trillion U.S. fiscal stimulus plan, but some are opposed to the price tag. Democrats took control of the U.S. Senate on Wednesday, though they will still need Republican support to pass the program.

The United States' peaceful transition of power included a spotlight on fashion on Wednesday, as President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were sworn in at the U.S. Capitol, both sporting American designers.

Lani Muller doesn’t have to visit a doctor’s office to help test an experimental COVID-19 vaccine — she just climbs into a bloodmobile-like van that parks on a busy street near her New York City neighborhood. “The legacy of African Americans in science in these sort of trials hasn’t been great and we haven’t forgotten,” said Muller, 49, a Columbia University employee whose participation in some prior research projects made her willing to get a test injection earlier this month.
Biden made brief remarks from the Lincoln Memorial, calling for unity after a contentious election. "This is a great nation, we're a good people, and to overcome the challenges in front of us requires the most elusive of all things in a democracy - unity. It requires us to come together in common love that defines us as Americans opportunity, liberty, dignity and respect and unite against common foes, hate, violence, disease and hopelessness," Biden said. The evening culminated with a fireworks show that Biden and his family watched from the White House balcony.
Moderna said on Tuesday it had received a report from the California Department of Public Health that several people at a center in San Diego were treated for possible allergic reactions after vaccination from one lot of its COVID-19 vaccine. The state health department held discussions with various U.S. authorities, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and found no scientific basis to continue the pause, state epidemiologist Dr. Erica Pan said in a statement.
(Bloomberg) -- The Bank of Japan left its main policy unchanged after forecasting the economy will regain more lost growth than previously thought once it starts to recover from the current state of emergency.The BOJ held its interest rate and asset buying settings intact, according to a statement from the central bank Thursday. All 44 economists surveyed by Bloomberg predicted no change in the bank’s main policy levers ahead of a policy review in March.While the bank took a gloomier view of the current state of the economy as record cases of Covid-19 keep a state of emergency in place, the BOJ concluded that weaker growth at the end of the current fiscal year and a government stimulus package announced last month will result in a stronger rebound in the year starting April.“The BOJ became more cautious over the current state of the economy due to the renewed emergency. But their message is you don’t have to be more pessimistic about the following years as there’s a fiscal stimulus package on tap and expectations of a vaccine rollout,” said Eiji Kitada, chief economist at Hamagin Research Institute.Still, he added that the upgrade in the fiscal 2021 growth forecast to 3.9% from 3.6% is likely due to a rebound and shouldn’t be taken as a sign of optimism or a signal any policy tapering to come.Read More: BOJ Mulls Stimulus Mechanics as Covid-19 Extends TimelineAhead of the meeting, economists had taken the view that the bank would likely hold off any action until it completes a review of policy at its next gathering in March. By then the economic landscape and the trajectory for the pandemic should be much clearer.Markets showed scant reaction to the largely in-line outcome of the meeting, with stocks and the yen little changed from levels before the decision.What Bloomberg Economics Says...“The conclusions of the review -- due in March -- will likely hinge on the strength of the economy. The better outlook suggests any adjustments the BOJ makes will be aimed more at improving the quality of its stimulus rather than the quantity.”\-- Yuki Masujima, economistFor the full report, click hereShortly after the BOJ’s decision, the Suga administration nominated a reflationist to the BOJ board, helping to assure policy continuity. Asahi Noguchi, a Senshu University economics professor, was chosen as a candidate to become one of the Bank of Japan’s nine board members from April.Suga Government Nominates Reflationist Academic to BOJ Board (2)Currently about 60% of the economy is subject to advisories that mainly call for reduced activity in the evenings after Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga widened the state of emergency beyond the Tokyo region to include most of Japan’s other business hubs.The BOJ has concentrated its efforts during the pandemic on ensuring businesses have access to cash and keeping markets stable. Its relative success so far and the prospect of vaccine distribution over the coming months gave it enough breathing room to monitor developments for now.Still, the bank’s gloomier view of the country’s immediate economic health, and its downside risks, adds to evidence the bank is a long way from the cautious optimism of some of its global peers. Some Federal Reserve officials see the possibility of a much stronger U.S. rebound once vaccines are widely delivered.The gap in perceptions may help relieve some upward pressure on the yen. The currency hit a nine-month high against the dollar earlier this month, pushing Japanese exporters closer to loss-making levels when they are already facing lower demand amid the pandemic.In its quarterly outlook report, the bank said the economy is picking up “as a trend.”The BOJ delivered that assessment after a report earlier Thursday showed demand from China, which has managed to contain the virus and last quarter roared back to pre-pandemic growth rates, last month drove the first year-on-year gain in Japanese exports since late 2018.The shipments gain is positive sign, but even continued increases probably won’t be enough to offset the damage to Japan’s service sector amid the renewed emergency.In the short-term, the BOJ forecast the economy will shrink 5.6% in the year through March, compared with its October forecast for a 5.5% contraction. The previous projection was already worse than the consensus among economists.On inflation, the BOJ kept its projection that price growth is unlikely to meet the bank’s 2% target before early 2023, when Governor Haruhiko Kuroda’s current term expires.Following the decision to hold policy, BOJ watchers will shift their focus to any hints Kuroda may give about a policy review in March. Kuroda has made clear he isn’t considering a major overhaul, but has flagged the buying of exchange-traded funds and the mechanics of its yield-curve management as areas needing consideration.Kuroda is set to brief reporters at 3:30 p.m. in Tokyo.(Adds details on exports and BOJ board member nomination)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

Perhaps Karlsson's performance Wednesday can serve as a turning point for him this season.
China announced on Wednesday it would slap sanctions on outgoing U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and 27 other top officials under Donald Trump. The Chinese foreign ministry announced the sanctions around the time of U.S. President Joe Biden's inauguration and said it would work to cooperate with Biden's new administration. But a spokeswoman for Biden's National Security Council on Wednesday called the sanctions quote "unproductive and cynical" and "an attempt to play to partisan divides," urging both Republicans and Democrats to condemn the action. In its statement, the Chinese foreign ministry said Pompeo and others had quote "gravely interfered in China's internal affairs, undermined China's interests, offended the Chinese people, and seriously disrupted China-U.S. relations." The move reflected China's anger over an accusation Pompeo made on his final day in office, that China had committed genocide against Uighur Muslims in its Xinjiang region. Biden's Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, said Tuesday he agreed with that assessment. Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying dismissed Pompeo's allegations Wednesday, calling him a "laughingstock" and a "clown." The sanctions come after Trump imposed sanctions on Chinese officials and companies for alleged misdeeds in the South China Sea. The 28 ex-officials and their immediate family members being sanctioned also include trade chief Peter Navarro, National Security Advisers Robert O'Brien and John Bolton, Health Secretary Alex Azar, U.N. ambassador Kelly Craft and former top Trump aide Steve Bannon. The sanctions bar them from entering mainland China, Hong Kong or Macao, and companies associated with them would be restricted from doing business with China. China has repeatedly rejected accusations of abuse in Xinjiang, where a United Nations panel has estimated at least 1 million ethnic Uighurs and other Muslims have been detained in camps.
