Powell doesn’t want us to take that hit if we don’t have to,” the “Mad Money” host said.“I think Jay Powell’s right to focus more on full employment than low inflation ... I bet he’ll be right about the transient nature of the commodity price increases,” he said. CNBC’s Jim Cramer said Thursday that it’s a mistake to dump stocks in reaction to the Federal Reserve’s decision to leave the interest rate unchanged. He defended Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who the day prior maintained the central bank’s goal to keep short-term borrowing rates low to support the U.S. economic recovery, even if inflation picks up in the near term. “Higher rates are bad for the economy. Powell doesn’t want us to take that hit if we don’t have to,” the “Mad Money” host said. “He doesn’t want his legacy to be botching the recovery … [not after he] acted so aggressively last year to keep the economy from crashing.” The Fed slashed rates last year in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Now many market watchers are trying to anticipate the Fed’s next move as the economy gains traction. Mandates put in place to slow the spread of Covid-19 upended the economy and threw the country’s unemployment rate into double-digit range. The jobless rate has since fallen to 6.2% as of February, and Powell said the Fed would prioritize giving the labor market room to recover. “I think Jay Powell’s right to focus more on full employment than low inflation ... I bet he’ll be right about the transient nature of the commodity price increases,” Cramer said. “Wall Street freaked out last year when Powell cut rates aggressively, and they’re freaking out again now that he’s decided to keep rates” low, he added. While a low-interest rate environment is good for stocks, not all stocks are created equal, Cramer said. Industrial businesses are winners when rates are low, while growth names — particularly those in tech that trade on future earnings expectations — are getting hit because those later profits are not as attractive if inflation eats into their value, he said. The Fed now projects gross domestic product to improve by 6.5% this year, up from a 4.2% projection it made in December. As the U.S. economy reopens and more consumers venture outside of the home more, cyclical companies, such as travel, will stand to benefit greatly, Cramer said. “The Fed’s basically saying, ‘Party on, industrials,’ which causes the hedge funds to buy them hand over fist,” the host said. “Problem is, if they want to buy the banks or the smokestack stocks … they need to sell something else,” he said, such as “the high-growth tech stocks that they always dump, and that’s called the hedge fund playbook.” ## https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/18/jim-cramer-investors-dumping-stocks-on-fed-policy-are-making-a-mistake.html 19/03/2021 6:52 PM MorningGlory123 Charts show that Europe’s third coronavirus wave has begun https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/19/europes-third-coronavirus-wave-has-arrived.html 20/03/2021 9:07 AM MorningGlory123 Brazil Covid variant detected in New York resident for the first time, Cuomo says https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/20/brazil-covid-variant-detected-in-new-york-resident-for-the-first-time-cuomo-says.html Oh no,I think outbreak again 21/03/2021 3:42 PM MorningGlory123 German Covid Rate Hits Two-Month High With Leaders Set to Meet https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-21/german-covid-rate-hits-two-month-high-with-leaders-set-to-meet?srnd=premium-asia I think Covid variant is unavoidable, there is the reason why virus spiking again 21/03/2021 8:32 PM MorningGlory123 Covid cases are rising in 21 states as health officials warn against reopening too quickly https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/20/covid-cases-are-rising-in-21-states-as-health-officials-warn-against-reopening-too-quickly.html 21/03/2021 11:32 PM Keyman188 AstraZeneca vaccine found to be 79% effective in U.S. trial, ‘no increased risk’ of blood clots (PUBLISHED MON, MAR 22 20213:10 AM EDTUPDATED MON, MAR 22 20214:09 AM EDT) ~ The safety and efficacy analysis of the vaccine, published Monday, was based on 32,449 participants from a Phase 3 trial. ~ It comes shortly after a flurry of countries temporarily suspended use of the shot following reports of blood clots in some vaccinated people. ~ AstraZeneca said an independent data safety monitoring board identified no safety concerns related to the shot. LONDON — The findings of a large U.S. trial have shown that the coronavirus vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford is 79% effective in preventing symptomatic illness and 100% effective against severe disease and hospitalization. The safety and efficacy analysis of the vaccine, published Monday, was based on 32,449 participants from a Phase 3 trial. By comparison, Moderna’s vaccine has been found to be more than 94% effective in preventing Covid, and Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine was found to be 95% effective. AstraZeneca said it would continue to analyze the data and prepare for the primary analysis to be submitted to the U.S. Food and Drugs Administration for emergency use authorization in the coming weeks. It comes shortly after a flurry of countries temporarily suspended use of the shot following reports of blood clots in some vaccinated people. Health experts sharply criticized the move, citing a lack of data, while analysts expressed concern about the impact on vaccine uptake as the virus continues to spread. Germany, France, Italy and Spain are among those to have resumed use of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine after Europe’s drug regulator said its initial investigation of possible side effects concluded the shot is both safe and effective. AstraZeneca said in a release Monday that an independent board identified no safety concerns related to the shot. They also conducted a specific review of blood clots as well as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), an extremely rare blood clot in the brain, with the help of an independent neurologist. The data safety monitoring board “found no increased risk of thrombosis or events characterised by thrombosis among the 21,583 participants receiving at least one dose of the vaccine. The specific search for CVST found no events in this trial.” ‘Much-needed’ additional vaccination option Ann Falsey, professor of medicine at University of Rochester School of Medicine, U.S., and co-lead principal investigator for the trial, said: “This analysis validates the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine as a much-needed additional vaccination option, offering confidence that adults of all ages can benefit from protection against the virus.” The pharmaceutical giant said the shot was well tolerated and its effectiveness was found to be consistent across ethnicity and age. Notably, the Oxford-AstraZeneca shot was 80% effective in preventing Covid in participants aged 65 years and above. “These results add to the growing body of evidence that shows this vaccine is well tolerated and highly effective against all severities of COVID-19 and across all age groups,” Mene Pangalos, executive vice president of BioPharmaceuticals R&D at AstraZeneca, said in a statement. “We are confident this vaccine can play an important role in protecting millions of people worldwide against this lethal virus,” Pangalos said. Among the participants in the interim analysis, roughly 20% were 65 years of age and above, while approximately 60% had comorbidities associated with an increased risk for progression of severe Covid, such as diabetes or cardiac disease. ## https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/22/astrazeneca-coronavirus-vaccine-79percent-effective-in-us-trial.html ^^^ Another high effective vaccine roll out globally... 22/03/2021 4:27 PM Consultant yakah... how long this vaccine provide immunity? do we need to jab 3/4/5 times to get immunity? 24/03/2021 11:39 AM MorningGlory123 Global COVID-19 cases rise for 4th straight week https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2021/03/global-covid-19-cases-rise-4th-straight-week In its latest weekly snapshot of global COVID-19 activity, the World Health Organization (WHO) said yesterday that cases rose for the fourth week in a row, led by cases in the Americas and Europe, with deaths now leveling off after a 6-week drop. Though much of the rise was spread across four of the WHO's regions, rises were especially steep in certain countries, such as India, where cases were up by 35% over the previous week.

More than 528 million doses have been administered across 141 countries, according to data collected by Bloomberg. The latest rate was roughly 13.8 million doses a day. In the U.S., more Americans have received at least one dose than have tested positive for the virus since the pandemic began. So far, 140 million doses have been given. In the last week, an average of 2.68 million doses per day were administered. ## https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution/ 28/03/2021 2:10 PM Keyman188 Pfizer-BioNTech says Covid vaccine is 100% effective in kids ages 12 to 15 (PUBLISHED WED, MAR 31 20216:45 AM EDTUPDATED WED, MAR 31 20219:52 AM EDT) ~ Pfizer said its coronavirus vaccine was 100% effective in preventing Covid-19 in children ages 12 to 15. ~ Pfizer plans to submit the new vaccine data to the FDA “as soon as possible,” CEO Albert Bourla said. ~ Kids in the age group could be eligible for the vaccine before the new school year. ## https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/31/covid-vaccine-pfizer-says-shot-is-100percent-effective-in-kids-ages-12-to-15.html 01/04/2021 12:12 AM Keyman188 Pfizer Covid vaccine is 91% effective in updated data, protective against South African variant (PUBLISHED THU, APR 1 20216:51 AM EDT) ~ Pfizer and BioNTech said their vaccine is around 91% effective at preventing the disease, citing data that included people inoculated for up to six months. ~ The shot was also 100% effective in preventing illness among trial participants in South Africa, where a new variant is dominant, although the number of those participants was relatively small at 800. ## https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/01/pfizer-covid-vaccine-is-91percent-effective-in-updated-data-protective-against-south-african-variant.html 01/04/2021 9:24 PM Keyman188 Malaysia, China Agree on Mutual Recognition of Vaccine Certificates (April 2, 2021, 1:57 PM GMT+8) Malaysia and China have agreed in principal to mutually recognize their vaccination digital certificates, or Covid-19 health certification, Malaysia Foreign Affairs Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said in a briefing during his visit to China. ## https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-04-02/malaysia-china-agree-on-mutual-recognition-of-vaccine-certs 02/04/2021 8:46 PM Keyman188 Covid vaccinations hit another record, average now above 3 million daily (PUBLISHED SAT, APR 3 20215:45 PM EDT) ~ The U.S. is now administering more than 3 million new Covid vaccine shots daily, based on a seven-day average of CDC data. ~ On Saturday, the public-health agency reported a record 4.1 million new doses were given. The U.S. reported on Saturday another daily record of new Covid vaccine doses administered, pushing the weekly average of new shots per day above 3 million, according to data compiled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The public-health agency on Saturday reported 4.1 million new doses were given, the highest daily mark since the Food and Drug Administration cleared vaccines for emergency use late last year. About 104.2 million U.S. residents, or 31% of the population, have received at least one vaccine dose, according to the CDC, while 59.9 million people, or 18% of the population, are fully vaccinated. Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines require two doses for full immunity protection; Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine, which received limited clearance in late February, is a single-shot regime. Three-quarters of U.S. residents who are age 65 and older have received at least one vaccine dose, CDC data shows, providing crucial protection against the disease to a vulnerable group of Americans. As of March 31, nearly 81% of the country’s Covid deaths have occurred in people age 65 and up. The rise in daily vaccine doses administered comes as available supply increases and eligibility is expanded across the nation. In states such as Texas, Kansas and Ohio, all residents age 16 and older are now able to get the vaccine. The vaccine milestone Saturday arrives against a somewhat mixed picture for coronavirus cases and deaths in the past week. The country’s seven-day average of new daily infections sits at 64,617, up 6% compared with a week ago, according to a CNBC analysis of Johns Hopkins University data. Cases are growing in 26 states, plus Washington D.C., CNBC’s analysis shows. However, the U.S. weekly average of new deaths per day is down 12% to 847. President Joe Biden has urged the country to continue remaining vigilant around coronavirus spread despite significant progress on the vaccine rollout. “Too many Americans are acting as if this fight is over,” Biden said Friday. “It is not.” Also on Friday, the CDC said people who have been fully vaccinated against Covid can travel at “low risk to themselves,” while still stressing the need to wear a mask and maintain physical distance. “We continue to encourage every American to get vaccinated as soon as it’s their turn, so we can begin to safely take steps back to our everyday lives,” CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said in a statement that accompanied the guidance change. “Vaccines can help us return to the things we love about life, so we encourage every American to get vaccinated as soon as they have the opportunity.” ## https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/03/covid-vaccinations-hit-another-record-average-now-above-3-million-daily.html 04/04/2021 12:18 PM Keyman188 U.S. says 165 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine been administered so far (April 5, 20212:17 AMUpdated 6 hours ago) (Reuters) - The United States has administered more than 165 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines in the country as of Sunday morning and distributed nearly 208 million, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Sunday.

Markets are going to continue to be stronger,” he predicted. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said Thursday he’s optimistic about financial markets as the economy attempts to recover from the coronavirus pandemic. “I am incredibly bullish on the markets,” Fink said in an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” He noted that a host of factors are likely to propel markets higher in the near term, even as the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average hover near record levels. “I believe because of monetary stimulus, fiscal stimulus, the cash on the sidelines, earnings, the markets are OK. Markets are going to continue to be stronger,” said the co-founder and chairman of the world’s largest asset manager. “A big reason why there’s so much cash sitting on the sidelines during Covid and during remote working our behaviors have changed dramatically,” Fink explained, noting the amount of money many commuters are saving by not going into work. “Whether the money is coming from a stimulus check or is coming from savings or behavior changes for savings, I think it’s fantastic that we’re seeing more people either investing for the long term or even trading,” he added. Fink also commented on BlackRock’s institutional client base, which includes pensions funds, saying climate change and inflation risk are bigger concerns to them than cryptocurrencies. Fink on Covid vaccines, budget deficits The BlackRock CEO cautioned near-term risks to the stock market do exist. Fink said the arrival of coronavirus variants that dramatically reduce the effectiveness of Covid vaccines is the biggest one. Long term, Fink said, the government deficit — which has grown as the U.S. Congress passed trillions of dollars worth of pandemic stimulus to support the economy— poses a more of a threat. “Deficits right now are not a big issue, and that’s what the markets are saying,” Fink contended. “They’re not a big issue because the amount of money that’s on the sideline, the amount of capital that is trying to be put to work.” However, Fink said the strength of the economy in the years ahead could change his outlook. “If we don’t have economic growth that is sustainable over the next 10 years — and I’m saying economic growth that is above 3% — our deficits are going to matter, and they are going to elevate interest rates at some time,” he said. Fink’s comments came after BlackRock reported first-quarter results that beat Wall Street expectations. The company’s assets under management also increased to just over $9 trillion, up 39% from $6.47 trillion in the same quarter a year ago. ## https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/15/blackrock-ceo-larry-fink-says-hes-incredibly-bullish-on-stock-market.html 16/04/2021 2:13 PM Keyman188 Since market so depression...Keyman188 spread more great great boost news... wkwkwk...kekeke...hehehe... 16/04/2021 2:16 PM CovidWave4 World covid Raising New record now i think few year can’t FLY now everyone can swim ! i wait 0.300 19/04/2021 1:39 PM Keyman188 Sure bohhh...Don't let Keyman188 so excited later become so disappointed ...
