At the beginning of summer, the majority of the population in the economically developed countries of the world will be vaccinated against COVID-19, which will lead to an increase in the consumption of oil and petroleum products.

Bullish U.S. economic data, including a spike in retail sales and housing starts and tumble in jobless claims - are giving investors. Favorable economic outlook and short-term rise in inflation will not affect monetary policy. The Fed will keep rates close to 0% for a long time to come. The Federal Reserve will only cut back on asset purchases when it sees strong growth in employment. It is too early to think about it now. The central bank turns a blind eye to the growth of inflation and is ready to keep rates at historic lows for a long time. This is a positive signal for the US stock market.
Trading recommendation: Buy 4145 and take profit 4199.
