UK 100 called to open +100 points at 6685; Last weeks mass sell off showed signs of at least a pause on Monday, prompted by optimism that central banks will again save the day. U.S. futures saw modest gains after the S&P 500 Index closed out its worst week since 2008. Monday began with further declines in stocks and gains in bonds. The BOJ offered to lend 500 billion yen ($4.6 billion) to financial firms after Governor Haruhiko Kuroda vowed to "provide ample liquidity and ensure stability in financial markets." prompting stocks to reversed declines. The Nikkei closed the day 201 points higher at 21,344, The Hang Seng also followed higher, by 163 points closing at 26,303 and completing a green sweep in Asia, China closed 129 points higher at 4,069. After getting caught up in last week’s punishing virus-driven sell-off that hit everything from equities to commodities, gold rebounded on Monday to refresh its credentials as a haven in troubled times. Expectations the OPEC+ alliance will deepen output cuts put a floor under last week’s 16% plunge in oil prices, with futures in New York rebounding even as the coronavirus continued to spread rapidly.
