TOP NEWS
• Fed likely to pen rosier forecasts, but no policy shift expected
Federal Reserve policymakers are expected this week to forecast that the U.S. economy will grow in 2021 at the fastest rate in decades, with unemployment falling and inflation rising, as the COVID-19 vaccination campaign gathers pace and a $1.9 trillion relief package washes through to households.

• Microsoft could reap more than $150 million in new U.S. cyber spending, upsetting some lawmakers
Microsoft stands to receive nearly a quarter of Covid relief funds destined for U.S. cybersecurity defenders, sources told Reuters, angering some lawmakers who don't want to increase funding for a company whose software was recently at the heart of two big hacks.

• EXCLUSIVE-U.S. Congress launches probe into multibillion-dollar 'clean coal' tax credit
The U.S. Congress is investigating a multibillion-dollar subsidy for chemically treated coal that is meant to reduce smokestack pollution, after evidence emerged that power plants using the fuel produced more smog not less.


BEFORE THE BELL
Wall Street futures were higher and U.S. Treasury yields hovered near a 13-month peak, on bets economic growth would accelerate even though investors became wary of the Federal Reserve and other key central bank meetings in the days ahead. European stocks rose on hopes of a strong economic rebound, calming concerns about quickening inflation and Asian shares inched higher on optimism around the passage of a massive U.S. stimulus package. The dollar gained as rising bond yields forced traders to cut their bearish dollar bets to four-month lows while gold prices edged up on prospects of higher inflation. Oil prices rose as data showed China's economic recovery accelerated at the start of 2021, boosting the energy demand outlook at the world's largest oil importer.


STOCKS TO WATCH
Deals Of The Day
• Cerberus Telecom Acquisition Corp: KORE Wireless Group Inc has agreed to go public through a merger with a blank-check firm backed by private equity company Cerberus Capital Management, in a deal that values the combined entity at a pro-forma enterprise value of $1.01 billion. KORE said on Friday the deal with the company will fetch the merged company about $484 million in gross cash proceeds. The payment will include $225 million private investment led by Koch Strategic Platforms LLC and other top-tier investors, such as funds and accounts managed by BlackRock Inc. CTAC, a so-called special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, raised $250 million through an initial public offering last year. The combined company expects to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange and will trade under the new ticker symbol "KORE". Cowen and Company LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co LLC are acting as financial advisers to the merging companies.

• GenMark Diagnostics Inc: Roche Holding AG will buy the company, a U.S.-based maker of molecular diagnostic tests in a $1.8 billion deal, the Swiss pharmaceuticals manufacturer said. Roche said it will launch a tender offer to fully acquire GenMark at a price of $24.05 per share in an all-cash transaction. The price represented a premium of 43% on GenMark's closing share price on Feb. 10, before media speculation about a deal, Roche said. "Acquiring GenMark Diagnostics will broaden our molecular diagnostics portfolio to include solutions that can provide lifesaving information quickly to patients and their healthcare providers in the fight against infectious diseases," Roche Chief Executive Officer Thomas Schinecker said in a statement. Roche said the acquisition, which has been approved by the boards of both companies, is expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2021.

Moves
• UBS Group AG: Around 10 UBS Australia staff, including top banking analyst Jonathan Mott and top mining analyst Glyn Lawcock, have resigned from their multi-decade long positions at the Swiss investment bank, two sources with knowledge of the matter said. Both Mott and Lawcock, have been hired by Barrenjoey Capital Partners, a startup partly owned by Barclays Plc and Magellan Financial Group, according to the Australia Financial Review, which first reported the moves. Representatives for Barrenjoey and UBS in the Asia Pacific did not immediately return a request for comment. The sources declined to comment due to the sensitive nature of the situation. The staff left on Monday after they received payment of deferred cash bonuses that had been made last week, one of the sources with knowledge of the situation told Reuters. Most of the departures were in the research department and they will join Barrenjoey, the person said.

• XP Inc: The Brazil broker's founder Guilherme Benchimol is leaving his current post of chief executive to become executive chairman on May 12, according to a statement on Friday. In a surprise move, XP appointed Thiago Maffra, former chief technology officer, to replace Benchimol as CEO. In the statement, Benchimol said he would be responsible for "key growth and strategic initiatives such as innovation and expansion, partnerships and M&A" in his new role. Benchimol, 44, had been chairman of the board and CEO since 2019.

In Other News
• Amazon.com Inc & Walmart Inc: India will require e-commerce firms to treat sellers equally on their platforms and ensure transparency, according to a draft policy seen by Reuters on Saturday that follows criticism against business practices of big online companies. India has been deliberating a new e-commerce policy for months amid complaints from brick-and-mortar retailers who allege online giants like Amazon and Walmart's Flipkart flout federal regulations. The companies have denied the allegations. "E-commerce operators must ensure equal treatment of all sellers/vendors registered on their platforms and not adopt algorithms which result in prioritizing select vendors/sellers," it says. The policy will apply to Amazon and Flipkart - two top e-commerce players in India - as well as domestic players like Reliance Industries, which has plans to expand its JioMart online platform. All three firms did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

• AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc: The company will start reopening its Los Angeles locations starting with two theaters on Monday, the company said in a statement on Friday. Local authorities cleared them to resume operations again starting on Monday if they limited attendance to 25% capacity. AMC said it would return to business starting with theaters in Burbank and Century City. The company plans to begin opening the rest of its theaters in the Los Angeles area, and elsewhere in California, starting on March 19.

• AstraZeneca Plc: The Netherlands has seen 10 cases of noteworthy adverse side effects from the company's COVID-19 vaccine, a Dutch drug watchdog said, hours after the government put its vaccination programme on hold following reports of possible unexpected side effects in other countries. Separately, the company's new aim of supplying 30 million doses of its COVID-19 vaccine to the European Union by the end March hinges on the bloc's drug regulator approving supplies from a factory in the Netherlands, an internal document showed. The new lower target for March deliveries, which confirmed an earlier report from Reuters, depends on the regulatory approval of a vaccine factory in Leiden run by subcontractor Halix, the internal document dated March 10 showed. AstraZeneca said in the document seen by Reuters that it is assuming the Halix factory will get the green light on March 25 and has pencilled in deliveries of nearly 10 million doses for the following week. An EU official close to EMA's decision-making told Reuters that a decision "might perhaps" come at the end of March.

• AstraZeneca Plc & Pfizer Inc: The European Union will be able to stick to its vaccination targets this quarter despite AstraZeneca delivery delays as Pfizer is producing faster than planned, EU industry commissioner Thierry Breton said on Saturday. "The good news is that even though there are delays with AstraZeneca we won't be late with our vaccination programme in the first quarter," Breton said. "Pfizer is producing more, much more than planned and is going to deliver more to us," he added. Separately, AstraZeneca on Sunday said it had conducted a review of people vaccinated with its COVID-19 vaccine which has shown no evidence of an increased risk of blood clots. Meanwhile, three health workers in Norway who had recently received the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine are being treated in hospital for bleeding, blood clots and a low count of blood platelets, Norwegian health authorities said on Saturday.

• Autohome Inc: The company's shares are trading above the company's issue price after making their debut on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, as investors become increasingly wary of mainland Chinese technology shares. The online vehicle firm had raised $688 million through its Hong Kong secondary listing by pricing its shares at HK$176.3 each. Autohome's softer opening, in comparison to some recent first day performances, was attributed to concerns over the future earnings growth of tech stocks facing potentially greater scrutiny in mainland China.

• Baidu Inc: The Chinese search giant said that its artificial intelligence chip unit Kunlun recently completed a round of fundraising, which according to one source with direct knowledge of the matter values the business at about $2 billion. The fundraising, which comes as the company pushes forward with AI chip design and manufacturing ambitions, was led by Chinese private equity firm CITIC Private Equity Funds Management (CPE), the source said. Other investors include IDG Capital, Legend Capital and an industry fund Oriza Hua, the person added. "Kunlun chip business has recently completed a round of financing. We will release more information in due course," Baidu said in a statement sent to Reuters, declining to comment on the investors, fundraising amount or valuation. Baidu is considering commercializing its AI chip design capabilities, with the aim of making the Kunlun unit a standalone company, according to the source.

• Boeing Co: The company has named veteran engineer Ed Clark to be the head of its 737 MAX jetliner program, according to internal memo sent to employees on Friday. Replacing Walt Odisho, who is retiring after being plucked from the auto industry to help Boeing boost productivity, Clark steps into the role as the U.S. planemaker works to clear an inventory of hundreds of 737 MAX aircraft and rebuild its image with passengers after the nearly two-year MAX grounding following fatal crashes. Clark, who was chief mechanic and engineer for Boeing's cash cow narrowbody program, will run the sprawling manufacturing hub at Renton, Washington. Clark is the fifth person in four years to take the helm of the program, which has over the years grappled with quality shortfalls, parts shortages and then the safety ban following the crashes. Mark Jenks, vice president in charge of airplane programs, announced the change in a Friday memo to employees.

• Carnival Corp: The company's Chief Executive Arnold Donald anticipates at least two more tough years for the cruise industry, which is unlikely to return to pre-pandemic levels until at least 2023, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. The cruise company's full fleet might be sailing by the end of this year but it will take longer to recover to pre-crisis revenues, Donald told the newspaper in an interview. Carnival in January reported a bigger-than-expected preliminary fourth-quarter net loss as business was brought to a virtual standstill by the coronavirus outbreak.

• Eli Lilly and Co: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said it will limit distribution of the company's COVID-19 antibody therapy in three states over concerns regarding the impact of a new variant on its effectiveness. The U.S government is evaluating recommendations for using the antibody, bamlanivimab, in regions where the variant, CAL.20C, which was found in California, is circulating in high numbers, the department said. While evaluations are ongoing, direct ordering of bamlanivimab will not be allowed in California, Arizona and Nevada, HHS said, adding that other authorized COVID-19 antibody therapies will remain available in the states. Separately, the company said on Saturday said its experimental Alzheimer’s drug slowed the rate of decline in a measure of cognition and function by 32% compared with a placebo in a mid-stage trial of patients at an early stage of the mind wasting disease.

• Facebook Inc: The company, which has been criticized by lawmakers and researchers for allowing vaccine misinformation to spread on its platforms, said it has started adding labels to posts that discuss the safety of the shots and will soon label all posts about the vaccines. The social media company said in a blog post it is also launching a tool in the United States to give people information about where to get COVID-19 vaccines and adding a COVID-19 information area to its photo-sharing site Instagram. The company said it was labeling Facebook and Instagram posts that discuss the safety of COVID-19 vaccines with text saying the vaccines go through safety and effectiveness tests before approval. In the blog post, it also said that since expanding its list of banned false claims about the coronavirus and vaccines in February, it has removed an additional 2 million pieces of content from Facebook and Instagram.

• Ford Motor Co: The company said on Friday it will begin notifying owners April 1 in its new recall of 2.9 million vehicles in North America with potentially defective driver-side Takata air bags after U.S. regulators demanded the fix in January. The second largest U.S. automaker said in January it would comply with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration request and that the recall would cost $610 million. The defect, which leads in rare instances to air bag inflators rupturing and sending potentially deadly metal fragments flying, prompted the largest automotive recall in U.S. history of more than 67 million inflators.

• Gilead Sciences Inc & Merck & Co Inc: The drug makers are collaborating to develop a long-acting HIV therapy, the Wall Street Journal reported. The U.S.-based companies will explore whether a combination of two experimental drugs, which they had been researching separately, could treat HIV even if taken every several months, according to the report. Gilead and Merck expect to begin testing in people a pill version of the combination during the second half of this year, which could be approved by 2025 if it passes testing, WSJ reported, citing an interview with Gilead Chief Executive Officer Daniel O'Day. Both the companies did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

• Microsoft Corp: The company stands to receive nearly a quarter of Covid relief funds destined for U.S. cybersecurity defenders, sources told Reuters, angering some lawmakers who don't want to increase funding for a company whose software was recently at the heart of two big hacks. "If the only solution to a major breach in which hackers exploited a design flaw long ignored by Microsoft is to give Microsoft more money, the government needs to reevaluate its dependence on Microsoft,” said Oregon Senator Ron Wyden, a leading Democrat on the intelligence committee. "The government should not be rewarding a company that sold it insecure software with even bigger government contracts." A draft spending plan by the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency allocates more than $150 million of their new $650 million funding for a "secure cloud platform," according to documents seen by Reuters and people familiar with the matter. More precisely, the money has been budgeted for Microsoft, according to four people briefed on the choice, largely to help other federal agencies upgrade their existing Microsoft deals to improve security of their cloud systems.

• Tesla Inc: Panasonic Corp's outgoing Chief Executive Kazuhiro Tsuga said the company will need to reduce its heavy reliance on Tesla Inc by making batteries more compatible with electric vehicles from other global carmakers, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. "At some point, we need to graduate from our one-legged approach of relying solely on Tesla," Tsuga, who will step down after nine years as CEO from April 1, told the newspaper in an interview. "We are entering a different phase and we need to keep an eye on supplying manufacturers other than Tesla." Panasonic has partnered with Tesla in a $5 billion battery "gigafactory" near Reno, Nevada.

• Twitter Inc: Russia on Saturday accused the United States of using IT opportunities to engage in unfair competition and of social media platforms arbitrarily and indiscriminately censoring content. Russia this week said it was slowing down the speed of the company in retaliation for what it described as a failure to remove banned content. It threatened to block the U.S. platform outright, a move which escalating a row between Moscow and U.S. social media firms. "[The platforms] do not, in principle, have unified standards for managing themselves. This is a semantic and technological stalemate," Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova wrote on Facebook on Saturday. "Digital content is arbitrarily and indiscriminately censored by certain moderators without the decision of a court or a relevant, competent authority."

• United States Steel Corp: The company on Sunday issued a revision to the first quarter guidance the company provided on March 12. The company did not change its guidance for first quarter adjusted earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of approximately $540 million, which excludes impacts related to acquiring the remaining stake in Big River Steel. However, it recalculated its guidance for first quarter adjusted net earnings to approximately $265 million and its adjusted diluted earnings per share to approximately $1.02. On March 12, the company said its guidance for first quarter adjusted net income was approximately $160 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share was approximately $0.61.

Europa moest wat inleveren vrijdag want Wall Street begon de sessie nog moeilijk en liet opnieuw divergentie en dus sector rotatie zien. De markten in Europa zijn vrijdag over het algemeen wat lager gesloten maar het blijft een beetje gemengd voorlopig op de Europese beurzen. Er wordt nog altijd gekeken naar het verloop van de rentes die vrijdag weer opliepen en het sentiment blijven bepalen.

Wel ging alles eerst samen omlaag tot de industrie, energie en banken weer werden gekocht zodat vooral de Dow Jones en de Dow Transport stevig opliepen richting het slot vrijdag.

Rente loopt verder op:
Het vooruitzicht van een verwachte sterkere groei van de economie na de pandemie laat ook keerzijde zien, namelijk een toenemende inflatie. en dat zorgt ervoor dat de obligatierentes stevig beginnen op te lopen hetgeen voor wat onrust zorgt op de beurzen. Die onrust vertaalt zich dan vooral via de volatiliteit ofwel de bewegingen die de markten laten zien momenteel. De Duitse 10-jaarsrente noteert vandaag weer iets lager tot -0,32% en blijft negatief, de 10-jaarsrente in de VS loopt wat verder op naar 1,625%.

Indicatie vandaag:
Vanmorgen zien wat lagere futures, de DAX future 50 punten lager de AEX ongeveer 1 punt lager. Op Wall Street staan de futures ook wat lager voor een maandag ochtend, we weten dat de afgelopen tijd juist de maandag sessie sterk start, vorige week was dat zelfs met een zeer grote positieve move zowel hier in Europa als op Wall Street. Nu lijkt het een kalme start van de week te worden, we zullen het zien in de loop van de dag. Vergeet ook niet dat veel indices nu een zware weerstand bereiken, of alles daar bovenuit kan breken moet nog blijken. We blijven voorzichtig en bekijken wat we moeten doen met de posities deze week.

Overzicht vorige week:
Op weekbasis overal plussen, de Dow Jones won 1282 punten wat goed is voor een topweek met +4,1% winst, de Dow Jones sluit zo op een nieuwe recordstand die nu 32.778,64 punten. De brede S&P 500 index won 101 punten over de gehele week ofwel +2,65% en volgt ook met een nieuw record op 3943,34 punten. De Nasdaq kon volgen met een winst van 400 punten op weekbasis (+3,1%), de Nasdaq 100 won 279 punten (+2,1%) terwijl de SOX index 44 punten hoger sloot (+1,5%). De Dow Transport index won 529 punten (+3,9%) wat ook een nieuwe recordstand oplevert vrijdag (14,156,69 punten). Een sterke week dus op Wall Street na enkele zeer sterke sessies gedurende de week.

Europa deed het ook prima met plussen en een record voor de DAX gedurende de week. Vrijdag wel een stapje terug bij de meeste indices na het slechte begin op Wall Street van vrijdag. De AEX won op weekbasis 23,5 punten ofwel 3,6%, de DAX won 582 punten wat goed is voor 4,2% op weekbasis. De Franse CAC 40 won 264 punten wat goed is voor de zeer sterke stijging van 4,55% en het hiermee iets beter doet dan de DAX en de AEX index. De CAC 40 verloor dan ook niet vrijdag terwijl de AEX en de DAX dat juist wel deden. Ook wat betreft Europa een sterke week achter de rug, nu maar eens zien hoe dat verder zal verlopen want de markt blijft rijp om even een correctie door te maken.

Technische conditie markt:
Wat betreft Wall Street zien we dat de Dow Jones, de Dow Transport en de S&P 500 alle 3 nieuwe records hebben neergezet vrijdag, dat wil ook zeggen dat het er technisch allemaal sterk uitziet want anders kun je geen records maken. Deze 3 dus boven het 20-MA, het 50-MA en al heel lang boven het 200-MA. Dat blijft dus sterk maar wel kwetsbaar nu door dat deze niveaus wel weer zullen worden opgezocht later. Er zit dus een terugval aan te komen op de vrij korte termijn bij deze indices.

Bij de Nasdaq is die al een tijdje bezig want de Nasdaq, de Nasdaq 100 en de SOX index staan alle 3 juist onder het 20-MA en het 50-MA. Technisch dus juist geen goed teken en dat vraagt om meer correctie de komende periode. Het is zelfs zo dat het 20-MA al onder het 50-MA duikt bij de Nasdaq 100, bij de andere 2 nog net niet maar wel aanstaande. Daarom blijft de markt best gevaarlijk met de divergenties die we zien want dat wil zeggen dat beleggers moeilijke keuze moeten maken en hoe dan ook nog in de markt willen blijven. Op een gegeven moment worden ze eruit gedrukt en dat moment komt duidelijk steeds dichterbij nu.

Europa dat het wat dat betreft dus goed bij alle 3 de indices die we volgen, zowel de AEX, de DAX en de CAC 40 staan boven hun 20-MA en hun 50-MA. Wel is het zo dat de indices hier iets minder sterk overkomen dan bijvoorbeeld de Dow Jones en de S&P 500. We hebben Technisch een sterke week achter de rug hier in Europa maar ik zie wel wat twijfels ontstaan zodat een correctie op de DAX, de AEX en de CAC 40 eraan zit te komen. Let wel, ik heb het over een correctie die gezond zou zijn in deze tijdfase, ik spreek niet over een CRASH of een aankomende "Bear Markt", wel over een terugval van tussen de 5% en de 10% om dan even te bekijken hoe de markt er uit komt te zien als het kaf van het koren is gescheiden.

Zowel Europa als Wall Street op een Technisch hoogtepunt nu, we kunnen denk ik beginnen met uit te kijken naar een eventuele schifting ofwel herschikking van de markt. Dat kan deze week al op gang komen en waar het kan zal ik erop handelen voor de leden. Strategisch zitten we al in de markt met posities die u nog kunt aankopen zodra u lid wordt. Het zou best eens een mooie rit kunnen worden met de lopende posities.

Euro, olie en goud:
De euro zien we nu rond de 1.1925 dollar, de prijs van een vat Brent olie komt uit op 69,6 dollar terwijl een troy ounce goud nu op 1723 dollar staat.

Resultaat dit jaar 2021 verloopt prima naar wens:
