When growth underperforms for a period of days, it tends to rebound very sharply. We're seeing that in market preferences today.”Stocks extended gains after a top aide to Donald Trump said the US president is willing to sign a US$1.3 trillion coronavirus relief Bill, four weeks after emergency unemployment benefits expired for millions of Americans.

US Treasury auctions of roughly US$150 billion worth of three-year, five-year and seven-year notes received strong demand starting on Tuesday.
