Amid growing tensions between Washington and China, Wall Street capped a strong week of gains thanks to optimism surrounding a potential coronavirus vaccine and the reopening of the economy, which has started to propel demand and is likely to revive growth.

In particular, Moderna (MRNA - Free Report) reported promising early results for its coronavirus vaccine. The vaccine produced COVID-19 antibodies in all 45 participants.

Additionally, the Fed said the central bank still has plenty of ammunition to rescue the economy from a deep slowdown, indicating a potential recovery in the second half of the year. The Fed would expand existing lending programs or start new ones if required.
