    Early Morning Vibes: Check Out These 4 hot Stocks Right Now

    Stock markets recovered strongly from the price dip at the end of January last week. In New York, the indices even managed to set new all-time highs on the boards. On Friday, the S&P 500 closed 0.39% higher at 3,886 points and the Nasdaq celebrated the weekend with a gain of 0.57% on 13,856 points.

    The unemployment figures on Friday showed that the labor market is slowly but surely going to recover somewhat. In January, 49,000 jobs were added in the private sector and the unemployment rate fell to 6.3%. Wall Street had previously expected more jobs, but economists assumed an unchanged unemployment rate at 6.7%. Still, the numbers were not very positive. Unemployment fell mainly because 406,000 people gave up their job search. The participation rate thus fell to 61.4%. This is a bad sign and indicates that the US job market is in bad shape.

    To support the US economy, Joe Biden is currently preparing a $ 1,900 billion corona support package. The package includes $ 1,400 in incentive vouchers, supplemental unemployment benefits, and Covid-19 vaccination and testing funds. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Sunday that if Biden’s stimulus plan is passed, the US could return to full employment by 2022.

    The S&P 500 nevertheless managed to close in the green for five days in a row and appears to continue this series today. Futures are up approximately 0.4% and there is little on the agenda to change that. Figures from Twitter, Uber, Walt Disney, and Coca-Cola will follow later this week. Furthermore, inflation figures from the US, China, and Germany are on the agenda.
