Morning Bell - Jessica Amir

The ASX200 is set to gain 0.4% at the open.

The NSW and Victorian border is open after 138 days of being closed.

COVID-19 cases are continuing to rise in the U.S., up 24% last week. This saw JP Morgan downgrade the U.S. first quarter 2021 economic growth to be -1%.

In New York, BHP and Rio gained about 1% each so it’s likely to be a positive day for some locally listed commodity stocks.
