But there seems to be little relief, as the daily count of new covid infections continues to hit records. China reported the biggest one-day increase on record at 20,472 new infections while the city of Shanghai recorded over 17,000 new covid cases.
Against this backdrop, the authorities in Shanghai city came out with fresh guidelines, citing that they will start another city-wide round of mass covid testing from April 6.
Lockdown curbs on the city will remain until the testing is complete, they added.
Additional takeaways
Tests will be a mix of antigen and PCR tests for covid.

Market reaction
Risk aversion remains at full steam in Asia, as investors worry about the aggressive Fed’s tightening and its potential impact on the economy alongside the looming risks from the Russia-Ukraine crisis.
The covid resurgence in China also remains a cause for concern ahead of the critical Fed March meeting’s minutes.
China’s Shanghai Composite Index is down 0.80% on the day while the AUD/USD pair faces a double whammy, meandering in lows near 0.7560, as of writing.
Note that markets in mainland China reopened after two days of public holidays.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
