Global equities reached another record and Treasury yields rose after Janet Yellen pushed for rapid U.S. stimulus and coronavirus infections slowed across the globe. The dollar steadied after Friday’s slide.
U.S. and European futures advanced after the S&P 500 closed at a record on Friday. Most Asian stocks climbed. Japan’s Topix index jumped the most in more than two months to close at its highest since 1991 amid reports that the government may lift its state of emergency early for some areas.
Treasury Secretary Yellen said on Sunday talk shows that the U.S. can return to full employment in 2022 if it enacts a robust enough relief package. Ten-year Treasury yields crept higher toward 1.2%. The pace of U.S. inflation implied by the bond market advanced to its highest level since 2014, as crude oil prices rallied. Brent oil rose above $60 a barrel for the first time in a year.
