S&P 500, daily chart.
The US stock market rose strongly yesterday due to better-than-expected reports on the US economy and the new spending plan of President Joe Biden.
More specifically, the DJIA jumped by 1.1%, Nasdaq increased by 1.7% and S&P 500 climbed up by 1.4%.
As mentioned above, all this is due to the strong ISM report on the US service sector, which indicated that activity reached 63% last March, well above the forecasted 59%. The industrial sector, on the other hand, saw some halt because orders fell by 0.8% last February.
In any case, the overall outlook was positive because Biden launched his new program, which amounts $ 2.2 trillion.
As for the Asian markets, they declined this morning even though economic indicators were also better than expected. Japan indices fell by 1%, while China indices slipped by 0.6%
