BREAKING NEWS BRIEF
All adults will be eligible for the vaccine by May 1
In his first primetime speech, President Joe Biden shared the next phase of combatting the virus. Biden will direct all states, tribes, and territories to ensure that everyone is eligible for vaccination by May 1. The new directive comes as part of a broader strategy that includes increasing the number of vaccine sites.
Biden’s speech came on the anniversary of when lockdowns began. During his speech, Biden shared his hope that the nation will be back at some level of normalcy by July 4. As more significant numbers of people are fully vaccinated, the Centers for Disease Control will update its guidance on activities like travel and attending church worship services.
The president warned that scientists have noted conditions could grow worse because of new variants of the virus. Americans need to stay vigilant, the president said, or restrictions may have to be imposed again.

MORNING MARKET UPDATE
This is your market update for the morning
The push-pull dynamic between the 10-year Treasury yield and equities continued Friday morning, as futures tied to the major benchmarks fell while the 10-year yield rocketed up eight basis points last night.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average saw futures drop 0.1%, while futures tied to the S&P 500 dipped 0.6%. The morning’s biggest loser was the Nasdaq-100, with futures falling 1.7%.
The slip follows a great day Thursday, with stocks logging record highs.
“While we expect conditions to remain volatile, the most recent developments on three of the main market drivers –stimulus, pandemic news, and inflation data — point to further equity upside,” said Mark Haefele of UBS Global Wealth Management. “The stimulus is substantially larger than had been expected earlier in the year. Its provisions are also likely to be highly supportive for consumption and growth. The windfall comes on top of existing signs of pent-up demand from US consumers.”

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
Want to be happy now? Live like you’re already retired
How much of your daily life would you say is spent on things that truly give you joy? Now, let’s flip the coin and let me ask you another question – how much of your time are you wasting on things that don’t give you joy?
If you can’t answer this question, it’s time to start working on figuring it out.
No one is promised any tomorrows, so instead of pushing off your happiness and pleasure until you retire, what would life be like if you started acting like you were already tired and scheduled your time accordingly?
“Essentially, if you want to lead a more fulfilling life, then do the things retirees are told to do to make the most of their golden years. As Oliver encourages: Give yourself permission to put forth your best effort toward the things that provide happiness and meaning while skating through the less important stuff in life.”
And while that sounds great in theory, let’s take a look how it works in actual practice.
