Biden will propose an aid plan to alleviate the impact of the epidemic later today. According to related reports, the scale is about 2 trillion U.S. dollars. This pushes the U.S. 10-year Treasury bond yield to a 10-month high and helps boost the U.S. dollar.

Data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Wednesday showed that U.S. crude oil inventories fell by 3.247 million barrels in the week ended January 8, which was higher than market expectations of 2.266 million barrels, but compared with 8.010 million barrels in the previous week. The decline has been reduced.

Data released by the American Petroleum Institute (API) showed that inventories fell by 5.821 million barrels.

Forex: The dollar index rebounded.

Supported by rising U.S. bond yields. US President-elect Biden is preparing to introduce his large-scale fiscal stimulus plan.

The US dollar index held Wednesday’s gains in early Asian trading hours, and investors continued to lift short US dollar positions. The U.S. dollar has risen on four of the past five trading days as the prospect of more stimulus policies in the U.S. depresses U.S. Treasury prices, thereby pushing the benchmark U.S. Treasury yield to rise by more than 1% for the first time since March.

Bitcoin also held onto Wednesday's 10% gain and rebounded after falling nearly $12,000 from the historical high of $42,000 reached last week.
