Asian equity markets traded positively as strong data releases helped the region shrug-off the weak handover from the US where stocks were pressured by month-end flows. Fed Chair Powell’s testimony at the Senate Banking Committee reiterated that the outlook for the US economy is uncertain and will depend on the virus. Looking ahead, highlights from the macroeconomic calendar include Eurozone, UK, and US Markit Mfg Final PMI, EZ Flash CPI, US ISM Mfg and Construction Spending, OPEC+ meeting, Fed's Powell, Brainard, Daly, Evans, ECB's Lagarde speeches. The progress on the COVID-19 vaccines and hopes of a swift economic rebound next year added to the optimistic sentiment in the market. The dollar was under pressure on Tuesday, after closing out its worst month since July with a little bounce and as investors reckon on even more US monetary easing.
