。U.S. stock futures rallied Frida. Investors, who have been rattled by the devastating impacts of the coronavirus, were encouraged by fresh measures by policymakers to shore up economies. In the United States, Senate Republicans on Thursday presented a $1 trillion economic stimulus bill. The Federal Reserve continued its swift action with a plan to support money market funds and extend currency swap lines to nine more countries in an attempt to keep dollars flowing to banks around the world. In Europe, news of the European Central Bank’s massive bond-buying program appeared to also cheer investors, who piled money into financial markets, sending stocks in Paris and Frankfurt up more than 3 percent. In London, the FTSE 100 was up nearly 2 percent. Stocks across the Asia-Pacific region also rose on Friday. The Hang Seng in Hong Kong jumped 5 percent, while Seoul’s Kospi gained more than 7 percent. Australia’s ASX 200 finished the day up nearly 1 percent. In Taiwan, stocks closed up 6.4 percent. In China, markets were more muted. Shenzhen rose 1.3 percent while Shanghai gained 1.6 percent.- --New York Times
。After a week of vomit-inducing limit up, limit down market moves, the week is set to end with another rollerocoaster bang, as the notorious gamma-slashing quadruple witching - the expiration of options and futures contacts - coincides with the ongoing market volatility. ---Zero Hedge

。As I just reported on @CNBC -- Lawmakers are wary of bailing out Boeing, comparing it to AIG, a company that required government rescue only because of its own risky decisions. Based on current thinking, White House would have to make an extremely compelling case to change minds.---Kyla Tausche,CNBC
。Major U.S. airlines on Thursday doubled down on a request for government cash grants even as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested assistance would be in the form of loans. Airlines have slashed thousands of flights, parking hundreds of airplanes and borrowing money as travel demand has collapsed. They have repeatedly warned that they may cut thousands of employees without significant assistance soon. McConnell defended plans for the U.S. Congress to pass aid for airlines, saying it was not a bailout but loans that would be repaid. ---Reuters
。In less than two weeks, the amount of distressed debt in the U.S. alone has doubled to a half-trillion dollars as the collapse of oil prices and the fallout from the coronavirus shutters entire industries. Why should we care? Distressed debt is a term used to describe the borrowings of companies that are perceived to be under acute financial pressure and often suggests that there’s considerable risk those borrowers will default on their obligations. As a global recession looms, there’s a good chance that more and more corporations could end up in similarly dire straits. ---Bloomberg

。随着国会的声音和美国石油公司的呼声越来越高，他们敦促特朗普总统强烈反对俄罗斯和沙特阿拉伯人在本月初的争吵之后引发了一场持续的油价战争。此举引发了持续的油价战争-最近见证了原油价格昨日跌至20美元 -政府已表示计划在“适当的时候”介入，并希望找到“中间立场”。 特朗普周四在白宫简报会上说：“他们在价格，产量方面进行斗争。”并指出，“在适当的时候我会介入。”---ZeroHedge
。正如我刚刚在@CNBC上报道的那样-立法者对将波音公司救助感到谨慎，将其与AIG相比，该公司仅因其自身的冒险决定而需要政府救助。 根据目前的想法，白宫必须提出一个极具说服力的案例来改变主意。---Kyla Tausche，CNBC
。即使参议院多数党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔（Mitch McConnell）建议以贷款形式提供援助，但美国主要航空公司周四对政府现金补助的要求也增加了一倍。 由于旅行需求萎缩，航空公司削减了数千个航班，停放了数以百计架机，并且借钱。 他们一再警告说，如果没有大量帮助，他们可能会裁减数千名员工。麦康奈尔捍卫了美国国会通过对航空公司的援助的计划，称这不是纾困，而是可以偿还的贷款。 ---路透社
。在不到两周的时间里，由于油价暴跌和冠状病毒造成的后果使整个不良债务行业都陷于瘫痪，仅在美国，不良债务就增加了一倍，达到半万亿美元。 我们为什么要关心呢？ 不良债务是一个术语，用于描述被认为承受着巨大财务压力的公司的借款，并且通常表明这些借款公司很可能会违约。 随着全球衰退的迫近，很有可能越来越多的公司最终陷入类似的困境。 ---彭博
