In the recent times, Aviation stocks have suffered a serious crash. Covid-19 shut down the entire business. But US aviation stocks, such as United Airlines and Delta Airlines, are on the rise again. European aviation stocks are also doing well. Air France-KLM ended 2020 with a loss of €7.1 billion, but the share is rising again. And one of the best airline stocks is Ryanair. The Irish airline’s share is already above pre-corona levels. The optimism of investors must be sought in the rollout of the vaccinations and also the introduction of a kind of vaccine passport, which apparently more and more politicians are in favor.If vaccinations gain speed and everyone who wants to go on holiday by plane must be able to present proof of vaccination, more people will be triggered to actually get vaccinated.

For Bank of America, an oil price of $100 is realistic within this and a few years. The drivers would be better fundamentals and monetary policy. Futures prices in the future are priced considerably more dearly and open interest has also risen sharply for options with a strike $100. Open interest has increased from 500 to 3,950 option contracts in one week.The rising open interest indicates an increasing number of open option contracts, a significant increase and interest from market participants. In the meantime, there are voices that OPEC + must increase production to meet (future) demand.

It looks like Warren Buffett has been busy last year. On the one hand, Berkshire Hathaway has more than double the volume (purchases and sales) compared to 2019. This will likely have been mainly due to sector rotation, as Warren Buffett is known for its long-term investing. Unless he has suddenly become a day trader. But let’s not assume this. Berkshire Hathaway further repurchased $24.7 billion of its own shares.In the newsletter sent out by Berkshire Hathaway this weekend, it is also noticeable that the amount of cash has increased quarter after quarter in recent years. In Q4 2020, Berkshire Hathaway was on a cash mountain of $138.3 billion. In 2020, the share of financial institutions in the holding decreased their portfolio from 41% to 24%. Warren Buffett and his partner Charly Munger appear to be seeing something in the energy and telecommunications sector. A large interest was taken in Chevron and Verizon Communications.

US stock exchanges fell on Monday in line with the overall decline in risk sentiment in global markets, according to trading data.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) fell by 0.33% to 31391.89 points, the NASDAQ high-tech index – by 0.86% to 13756.78 points, the broad market S&P 500 index – by 0.47%, up to 3887.8 points.

Monday traders are risk averse. Their attention turned to the possible consequences of the economic recovery after the pandemic. In particular, investors are concerned that the US $1.9 trillion stimulus package will lead to increased economic activity and a surge in inflation, which in turn could prompt the Fed to tighten monetary policy.

At preliminary trades, the pressure on the share price was also exerted by the growth of the yield on US government bonds to the maximum since February last year, which contributed to the strengthening of the dollar. However, the yield on government bonds has already moved to a correctional decline. The dollar is also slightly declining.

Meanwhile, the shares of the American concern Boeing are losing 1.8% after the company recommended to suspend flights of 777 liners with a Pratt & Whitney PW4000-112 engine amid an emergency with an engine in Colorado.

Today, global stock markets are showing mixed dynamics. Investors continue to assess the potential impact of rising bond yields on the stock market. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to the February 2020 level. From the point of view of corporate finance, in this situation, the discount rate increases, which ultimately reduces the fair value of the shares. At the same time, an increase in the yield of government bonds reflects an improvement in economic prospects, so there is no consensus among the investment community regarding the impact of this factor on the market.

The current consensus on the fiscal stimulus package suggests that it will be approved in mid-March in the amount of about $ 1.5 trillion. Moreover, after the adoption of this package, all attention will be focused on infrastructure government spending, the project of which will be presented next month. Their estimated volume is $ 2 trillion. Rumors regarding this bill are already beginning to influence the market.
