SHANGHAI, April 23 (Reuters) - Asian shares rose on Friday after the European Central Bank left policy unchanged, extending a rebound following a sharp selloff earlier in the week, but gains were capped as investors considered the impact of a possible U.S. capital gains tax hike.
The ECB’s decision to keep copious stimulus flowing came despite its prediction of a strong rebound in the euro zone economy from mid-year as COVID-19 infections are brought under control.
“There were a couple of subtle acknowledgements today that an upgrade to forecasts is likely coming at the June 10 meeting . Lagarde did highlight the pick-up in vaccinations and noted high frequency data are confirming to ECB staff that their previous view of an improvement in the medium-term (is) on course,” said Ray Attrill, head of FX strategy at National Australia Bank.
