Investors remain in upbeat moods thanks to promising results of Moderna's vaccine and a big recovery fund agreed on by France and Germany. Meanwhile, traders almost completely play down heating Sino-US tensions and deteriorating trade relationship between Australia and China. Powell's speeches are always seen as a big event but text for today's appearance before the Senate Banking Committee was already released and the event should not be too surprising.
