Good Morning!

In the United States, good progress has been made with the vaccination program and several states are slowly opening their doors again. At the same time, India is currently being hit hard by the corona virus. The country reported more than 357,000 new corona cases in 1 day, bringing the total to over 20 million. On the stock markets, we see the optimism reflected in value stocks, which have been outperforming growth stocks for a while. This translates into new all-time highs on the Dow Jones and S&P 500, while the Nasdaq is lagging somewhat. Yesterday again, the S&P 500 was up 0.27%, while the Nasdaq closed with a loss of 0.48%. In response to New York and Florida announcements to lift all corona measures, retail stocks soared; Macy's and Gap were up more than 7%, Dillard's were up 10% and Urban Outfitters were up more than 5% . In Florida, the closure is effective immediately and in New York everything will reopen on May 19. Consumers are expected to return to the shopping malls immediately after the opening. On the other hand, this could lead to inflation, higher interest rates, which is less good for growth companies with a lot of debt. Amazon.com, which benefited enormously from the corona lockdowns, lost 2.43%.
