Stock market rally stalls as investors hunt for safer assets
Stocks retreated across the world on Tuesday, ending a six-day global rally that had brought equities in the US within striking distance of positive territory for the year. The declines, which accompanied a spurt of buying of haven assets including US Treasuries and UK gilts, came as traders weighed flare-ups in coronavirus cases in several parts of the world. On Wall Street, the S&P 500 fell 1.1 per cent, with roughly four shares falling in the index for each stock that advanced.

The Fed is rightly wary of embarking on yield curve control
The Federal Reserve has set a cracking pace in terms of supporting the US economy and global financial system. Policymakers have winced at the idea of negative interest rates. Capping the level of Treasury yields, also known as yield curve control, would repeat a policy the Fed last used during and after the second world war.

US jobless rate dropped to 11% in June before virus spike
US employers added 4.8m new jobs in June and the unemployment rate dropped to 11.1 per cent, as the economic rebound from the initial coronavirus shock gathered pace last month before lockdowns began to be reimposed. The fall in jobless rate from 13.3 per cent in May was better than expected but was based on data collected in the second week of last month — predating a spike in infections that has hit several large US states since then and caused some authorities to restore restrictions on activity. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job gains were broad-based, with leisure and hospitality recovering 2.1m positions, retail restoring 740,000 people on payroll, and manufacturing adding 356,000 jobs.

No time for a mid-year celebration
The first half of an already tumultuous year — and one that has packed in some of the greatest hits from previous episodes of financial turbulence — is closing. For investors there is really no half-time break, let alone a Super Bowl style show such as this epic performance by Prince from a rain-swept Miami in 2007. Instead, investors are left assessing or fretting about the extent of the coming recovery in economic activity and corporate profits.

Asian shares slide, following Wall St selloff on virus fears
Shares fell Monday in Asia, tracking losses on Wall Street as rising virus cases cause some U.S. states to backtrack on pandemic reopenings. Shares also fell in Hong Kong, Sydney, Shanghai and South Korea. Concern has deepened as the number of confirmed cases topped 10 million, with more than 500,000 reported dead from COVID-19, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University that is believed to understate the problem due to issues with testing and a large number of asymptomatic cases.

After jolt, investors still see stocks as long-term bet
Underpinning that confidence is the force of unprecedented moves by the Federal Reserve to support the financial system and buy assets, which had propelled some stock indexes to fresh highs. "If you're a longer-term investor, you still have to like your equities exposure more than fixed-income exposure, where you basically have no upside at this point and your earnings are your paltry yield," said Troy Gayeski, Co-CIO of SkyBridge, an alternative investments firm. Following a sharp rise from March lows, The S&P 500 slumped 5.9% on Thursday, its steepest one-session loss since March 16, after renewed fears of a new wave of coronavirus infections and gloomy economic forecasts from the U.S. Federal Reserve.
