SINGAPORE: Singapore reported a daily high of 1,426 new COVID-19 cases on Monday (Apr 20), bringing the national total to 8,014.

The vast majority of the new cases - 1,369 - are work permit holders living in foreign worker dormitories, according to a Ministry of Health (MOH) update on Monday night.

"The main increase today continues to be for work permit holders residing in dormitories, where we are picking up many more cases because of extensive testing," said the ministry. "These are not new infections as the workers are staying in their rooms and many have not reported sick. But when the teams go in to test them, many turn out to be positive."

Most of them have a mild illness and are being monitored in community isolation facilities or general wards. None are in the intensive care unit, MOH said.

Which crude oil do you want to buy.
As consumers, will buy cheaper one.
If home production one is expensive than imported one. Import crude oil better or use the home made production better. Guess what.

Wti crude : $14.70 per barrel.
Brent crude : $26.90 per barrel.

Lindsay Graham: ‘We Ought To Sanction The Hell Out Of China’

“Cancelling debt is something we could do. You know China is the largest state sponsor of pandemics in the world. Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrorism. We sanctioned the hell out of Iran for spreading terrorism — we ought to sanction the hell out of China for spreading pandemics.”

“I would like to put sanctions on China not just for the United States, but for the entire world. This is the third pandemic to come out of China. Enough is enough. Bring the supply chain back? Yeah that’s a no brainer. Lets bring it back into this country by using carrots and sticks by telling businesses: if you relocate your supply chain we will give you a tax break. If you don’t we’re going to punish you.”

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham floated the idea of cancelling U.S. debt to China on Saturday night while speaking to Fox News Host Jeanine Pirro, and called on the communist state to face sanctions for the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Let’s talk about what we can do now,” Pirro said. “We owe money to China, can we start cancelling that debt?”

“Marsha Blackburn has legislation with Martha McSally that basically allows us to cancel some of the debt that we owe to China,” Graham responded.

Borrowed money from someone and can cancel the debt, so that no need to pay the debt. That free lunch.

Real unemployment in the United States has likely hit 14.7%, the highest level since 1940
Over a three week stretch, 16.8 million Americans have filed for unemployment.

Another 6.6 million Americans filed initial unemployment claims in the week ending April 4. That follows 3.3 million and 6.9 million in the two previous weeks, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

Before this three-week stretch of 16.8 million of initial jobless claims, there were already 7.1 million unemployed Americans as of March 13, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. When the figures are combined, it would equal 23.9 million unemployed, or a real unemployment rate of 14.7%—which would be the highest level since the early years of World War II.

The Federal Reserve said Tuesday it would launch a temporary lending facility that for the first time will allow foreign central banks to convert their holdings of Treasury securities into dollars, its latest bid to alleviate strains in global markets.


The program is designed to alleviate stresses in currency markets that had prompted more foreign central banks to sell their holdings of Treasurys. The Fed has been aggressively purchasing Treasury and mortgage securities to reduce market strains, and the latest move could reduce the supply of those securities hitting the market if foreign central banks can more easily exchange them for dollars.

Last year, the central bank reduced the base rate use for lending to 3% from 3.25% in May.

Imran Yassin expects BNM to slash another 25bps, bringing the OPR to 2.25% at the next MPC’s meeting.

“It is very unlikely that the OPR will go to zero because we opine that BNM will need to maintain some buffer to give them room to manoeuvre should the economic conditions worsen,” he said.

In a report, Hong Leong Investment Bank said BNM will likely reduce the policy rate by a total of 50bps this year to bring the rate down to 2% in 2020.

KUCHING: Sarawak has recorded a total of 34 positive Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) cases since the state’s first confirmed case on Friday, said Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.

He said in an effort to address this pressing issue, the state government has decided that all foreign and domestic visitors coming into Sarawak and returning Sarawakians, will be issued with a 14-day Stay Home Notice (SHN).

“This includes Sarawak residents, long term and short-term pass holders. This will take into effect on March 18,” he said.

He said relevant agencies will monitor the SHN holders through random visits, phone calls and modern technology applications.

Fed slashes main interest rate to near zero in historic move designed to cushion economic blow of coronavirus pandemic

The Federal Reserve slashed its main interest rates to near zero in an emergency move. It's part of a broader government effort to ease the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
The central bank also announced several other actions, including letting banks borrow from the discount window for as long as 90 days.
President Donald Trump, who long called for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, said the move made him "very happy."

The Federal Reserve slashed its benchmark interest rate on Sunday by a full percentage point to near zero. The Fed's key rate is now 0% to 0.25%, matching the record low it was last at in 2015.

The central bank also said it will increase its bond holdings by $700 billion. The emergency moves are part of a broader government effort to ease the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

"The coronavirus outbreak has harmed communities and disrupted economic activity in many countries, including the United States," the central bank said in a statement on Sunday.

"Global financial conditions have also been significantly affected," it added. "Available economic data show that the US economy came into this challenging period on a strong footing."

President Donald Trump, who long called for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, said the move made him "very happy."


Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell in a news conference on Sunday added that the move was triggered because "when stresses arise in the Treasury market, they can reverberate throughout financial markets and the entire economy."

The central bank also announced several other actions, including letting banks borrow from the discount window for as long as 90 days and reducing reserve requirement ratios to zero percent. In addition, it united with five other central banks to ensure dollars are available around the world via swap lines.
