Asian shares jump as Federal Reserve starts corporate bond buying programme

Deccan Chronicle  

TOKYO: Asian shares and Wall Street futures rallied on Tuesday as the formal start of the Federal Reserve’s corporate bond buying programme boosted global investor sentiment and calmed earlier worries about a second wave of coronavirus infections. MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 2.2%, its biggest one-day gain since June 1. The Fed said it will start purchasing corporate bonds on Tuesday in the secondary market, one of several emergency facilities launched in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. However, the Fed’s corporate bond purchases and data showing new infections in Beijing are under control helped equities quickly reverse course and head higher.
