The major US stock indices opened mostly higher on Friday, optimism about a breakthrough in the US-China political relations.

 

This came following a phone call between US Presidents Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.

 

The US Transportation Security Administration decided to increase the fine for refusing to wear a mask in public transportation to $3,000.

 

This comes amid concerns over the coronavirus pandemic, especially after the new highly transmissible delta strain emerged, which sparked worries over the global economic recovery.
