On Monday, American indices remained at about the same level, but optimism for the further continuation of the uptrend remains. With high probability, investors will buy the S&P 500 with the expectation of the release of positive statistics on the US GDP on Thursday. The analysts forecast for GDP is 6.6% (previous 4.3%).

European indices remain positive as well, as global markets started the week in relatively upbeat sentiment after new signs of a fast economic recovery emerged last week. The DAX index rose by +0.11%, while the British FTSE 100 showed a +0.35% gain.

Oil rapidly rebounded on Monday, but investors remained concerned about fuel demand recovery as the number of COVID-19 cases in India continues to increase, and India is the world’s third-largest oil importer.

The following companies: AMD, UPS, Alphabet, VISA, BP, Pinterest, Enphaser, Texas Instruments and Microsoft are also reporting today for Q1 2021.
