（吉隆坡10日讯）国际航空运输协会（IATA）最新研究显示，越来越多人愿意在接种冠病疫苗后去旅行。

84%不去需隔离国家

其中57%受访者准备在疫情受控的2个月内展开旅程，有40%受访者认为旅游受限制后，面对精神压力和实际交流障碍。有84%的受访者认为，如果要前往的国家需要展开隔离程序，他们不会前往。

IATA总监兼首席执行员朱尼亚克发文告指出，研究表明很多人愿意出游，如果需要隔离就不会出游。

“我们需要学习在冠病存在的世界中生活及旅行。由于限制旅程将涉及健康、社会及经济成本，因此航空公司需要做好准备，当政府重开国门时就与世界重新联系。 ”

他说，在接受疫苗接种的群体越来越多的情况下，目前正研究如何删除隔离程序，该协会也将跟政府合作，一旦情况允许后尽快打开国门。

吉隆坡10日讯）俄罗斯献议与马来西亚分享疫苗生产技能及技术，协助我国成为疫苗生产国，减少依赖其他国家。

目前俄罗斯是唯一献议大马生产疫苗的国家，因为俄方认为大马的策略性地理位置有利于成为本区域的疫苗出口基地。

分享生产技能知识

根据马来邮报报道，俄罗斯驻马大使拉蒂波夫说，俄罗斯献议与大马合作，愿意分享疫苗生产技能及知识，进行能力建设、技术分享，以及研发疫苗 ，当下个大流行病来袭，大马可以制造自己的疫苗。

“据我了解，从大马到任何东南亚国家只耗时两三小时，这也是为何我们认为大马是拥有这种疫苗的好地方，因为很容易出口疫苗。”

大马已订购600万剂量俄罗斯卫星五号（Sputnik V）冠病疫苗作为疫苗库存的一部分，让80%人口在今年杪前接种疫苗。

据报道，除了新加坡，本区域所有国家都对卫星五号深感兴趣。

Biden will direct states to make all adults eligible for Covid vaccine by May 1

(PUBLISHED THU, MAR 11 20216:30 PM ESTUPDATED THU, MAR 11 20216:51 PM EST)

~ President Joe Biden is set to announce that he will direct states to make all adults eligible for the Covid vaccines by May 1.

~ Biden in his first primetime address to the nation is also expected to say that Americans should be able to gather in small groups to celebrate the Fourth of July.

~ The speech comes hours after Biden signed into law the $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill, which he had strongly pushed during his first 50 days in office.

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden is set to announce Thursday evening that he will direct states to make all adults eligible for the Covid vaccines by May 1.

Biden, in his first primetime address to the nation, is also expected to say that Americans should be able to gather in small groups to celebrate the Fourth of July, a senior administration official told reporters Thursday.

“He will be clear that that does not mean large events where lots of people gather, but it does mean that we can once again have an independence day with small gatherings and celebrations,” the official told reporters ahead of the speech.

“And that’s a big step in the right direction,” the official added. “We believe that if we do our part we’ll be in a much better place by Independence Day, and we can start to resume more of our normal activities.”

Biden’s address is scheduled for just after 8 p.m. ET, and will be broadcast from the East Room of the White House. The speech is expected to last less than 20 minutes.

The primetime event comes hours after Biden signed into law the $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill, which he had aggressively pushed Congress to pass during his first 50 days in office.

Biden’s remarks come as the United States administered a record number of vaccines over the weekend. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention administered 2.9 million vaccines on Saturday, a record, and 2.4 million on Sunday, according to the agency’s latest tally. The numbers are subject to revisions as more data becomes available to public health officials.

KUALA LUMPUR (March 10): Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) aims to complete the implementation of the Automated Queue Management System (AQMS) at all critical touch points at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), including check-in, Immigration and Customs by June this year.
In a statement, MAHB said the first phase of the AQMS has been completed for all security screening checkpoints including the boarding gates.
According to the airport operator, the technology would help to cut passenger queue wait times to under 10 minutes.
The AQMS will take away the stress of long wait times and ensure effective physical distancing at all major touchpoints. For the airport, the AQMS fits both our aspiration in fighting the pandemic and our on-going Airports 4.0 transformation,” said MAHB’s group chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Shukrie Mohd Salleh.
According to him, AQMS uses 3D sensors that monitor real-time conditions from simple change in temperature and lighting conditions, to complex algorithms that automatically detects long queues and wait times.
This real-time information is then channelled to the backbone of airport operations at the Airport Operation Control Centre (AOCC) whereby resources can be deployed immediately to help ensure fast service and smooth passenger flow.
As such, crowd control can be effectively carried out in accordance with the standard operating procedures (SOPs) to further assure passengers of their safety even when in queue.
As part of the Airports 4.0 transformation, the data on the wait times from the AQMS will be integrated into its Flight Information Display Screens (FIDS) and “MYAirports” mobile app at a later stage, to allow passengers to plan their journey at the airport better.
Ultimately, we remain focused on our Airports 4.0 journey in future-proofing our services and heightening the passenger experience. We hope to create strategic value to all the relevant partners and government agencies by leveraging the data captured from the AQMS to be more efficient and effective in resource planning and allocation. This distribution of analytics is a concerted effort for the airport community to work together in enhancing the passenger journey,” said Mohd Shukrie.

The Fed could be a catalyst for bonds, and that could drive growth stocks in week ahead

(PUBLISHED FRI, MAR 12 20215:26 PM EST)


~ The bond market is once more the wild card for the stock market. It could rein in any gains in tech or growth stocks if yields continue to rise in the week ahead.

~ The Federal Reserve meets Tuesday and Wednesday. While it’s not expected to take any action, it could be a catalyst for a move in yields.

~ Value and cyclicals could continue to lead the market, as investors bet the vaccine rollout and fiscal stimulus will help the economy’s reopening.



Bonds could be volatile in the week ahead. If yields go higher, that could make it difficult for big tech and other growth stocks to gain traction.

Rising bond yields have been challenging growth stocks. Names like Apple, Tesla, and Amazon have been lagging as investors move to cyclical groups that do well in an economic recovery. Even so, the S&P 500 and the Dow both closed at record highs Friday, while the Nasdaq Composite was lower.

The Nasdaq, home to big tech, did gain 3% in the past week, but it is down 5.5% over the last month.

The bond market in the coming week will likely take its cues from the Federal Reserve, which meets Tuesday and Wednesday.

The central bank is expected to give a nod to much better growth. Bond pros are also watching to see whether Fed officials will tweak their interest rate outlook, which now does not include any rate hikes through 2023.

Fed ahead

“The markets have way too high expectations around what the Fed is going to do or say,” said Gregory Peters, head of multi-sector and strategy at PGIM Fixed Income. “I think the message is going to be consistent.”

He said Fed Chairman Jerome Powell is likely to sound dovish and is unlikely to give any time frames on when the central bank will change its bond-buying program or other policy.


Bond yields, which move opposite price, have been rising on an improving outlook for the economy.

That trade also showed up in the stock market, with the Dow up 4% for the week to end Friday at a record 32,778. Consumer discretionary stocks, which include retail, were among the best performers, up 5.7%, boosted by optimism that individuals will spend their $1,400 stimulus checks.

Yields were higher Friday after President Joe Biden said all adults would be eligible for a vaccine by May 1. The 10-year Treasury yield touched a high of 1.642% — its highest level in more than a year.

It is the key rate to watch since it affects mortgages and other consumer and business loans.

“The economy is going to be unbelievably strong this year — deficit spending, reopening, vaccines,” said Peters of PGIM.

“It looks like for next year, all the numbers are being revised higher,” he said. “So this thing could have some sustainable growth, so I think there’s going to be pressure on rates moving higher.”

Bond yields rose sharply over the past month. The rapid pace of the move has made stocks jittery as investors adjust to higher rates. The 10-year Treasury yield was at 1.16% on Feb. 12.

Growth vs. cyclicals

Over the last month, energy stocks have risen nearly 20%, financial stocks are up 10.2%, and industrials are up 7%. The S&P technology sector is down 5.4% over the last month, and communications services, which includes internet names was up 0.8%.

Higher rates are a challenge for tech and other growth stocks because those shares are expensive and have high price-earnings ratios.

“When rates are very low, valuations don’t matter to people,” said Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Global Advisors.

“If rates are low, there’s no penalty,” he said. “If rates start to go up, people become much more sensitive to valuations, and that’s what we’ve seen here.”

Scott Redler, partner with T3live.com, follows short-term stock market technicals and trades many of the growth stocks. Lately, however, he’s found himself sitting in many value names and cyclicals.

Dow futures rise as stocks point to strong open on Monday

(PUBLISHED SUN, MAR 14 20216:02 PM EDTUPDATED SUN, MAR 14 20217:42 PM EDT)

U.S. stock futures moved higher in overnight trading and pointed to gains at the open on Monday, continuing last week’s rally that led the Dow and S&P 500 to record highs.

Dow futures rose 120 points. S&P 500 futures gained 0.25% and Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.2%.

Stocks rose last week with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 4% and the S&P 500 gaining 2.6%. The S&P 500 and the Dow both closed at record highs Friday.

The Nasdaq Composite advanced 3% last week, despite a sell-off on Friday spurred by rising interest rates. The jump in bond yields has challenged growth stocks in recent weeks and sent investors into cyclical pockets of the market. The Nasdaq is up less than 1% this month, while the Dow and S&P are up 6% and 3.5%, respectively.

The U.S. 10-year Treasury hit its highest level in more than a year on Friday. The benchmark Treasury note reached 1.642%, its highest level since February 2020.

The small-cap benchmark Russell 2000 surged more than 7% last week as investors rotated into smaller stocks that benefit from a sharp economic comeback.

Last week, investors cheered the $1.9 trillion stimulus package that President Joe Biden signed into law. The IRS started processing $1,400 direct payments on Friday and checks started hitting bank accounts over the weekend. The bill will also put nearly $20 billion into Covid-19 vaccinations and $350 billion into state, local and tribal government relief.

Investors will be gearing up for Tuesday and Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting where the Federal Reserve will deliver its decision on interest rates. The bond market in the coming week will likely take its cues from the Federal Reserve.

The central bank is expected to acknowledge much better growth in the economy. Bond pros are also watching to see whether Fed officials will tweak their interest rate outlook, which now does not include any rate hikes through 2023.

Goldman Sachs chief economist David Kostin told clients on Sunday that he expects interest rates to continue to rise in the coming months and investors will have to “continually grapple with the anxiety about economic overheating and Fed tightening.”

On the vaccine front, Biden announced last week that he would direct states to make all adults eligible for the vaccine by May 1. Biden also set a goal for Americans to be able to gather in person with their friends and loved ones in small groups to celebrate the Fourth of July.

Investors dumping stocks on Fed policy are making a mistake, Jim Cramer says

PUBLISHED THU, MAR 18 20216:21 PM EDT

CNBC’s Jim Cramer defended the Federal Reserve’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged, saying it’s a mistake to dump growth stocks out of fear of rising inflation.“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.“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.”

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.
