Global stocks boosted by bright earnings, Fed outlook | Malay Mail

LONDON, July 29 — World equity markets climbed today as the Covid recovery brightened on upbeat corporate earnings and the US Federal Reserve’s latest economic outlook, dealers said.

The news came one day after US drugmaker Pfizer lifted its annual revenue and profit projections on surging demand for its rival Covid-19 vaccine.

The US central bank has said it will maintain its massive bond-buying and record low interest rate scheme for as long as it takes to tame unemployment and keep inflation running hot for an extended period.
