Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s&nbsp;goal was to&nbsp;pass&nbsp;the legislation before senators leave&nbsp;Washington for a scheduled week-long break. The bill, which has bipartisan support in the Senate but faces significant hurdles in the House, would plow more than $100 billion into U.S. research and development and provide $52 billion to foster domestic semiconductor manufacturing. It also includes a wide array of measures directly targeting China —&nbsp;on human rights and its influence in the U.S. — underscoring the bipartisan angst over the rise of the strategic rival.</p>\n<p><b>Looking Up</b></p>\n<p>Asian&nbsp;stocks&nbsp;look set to rise&nbsp;after solid data and President Joe Biden’s federal spending plansspurred a rally in U.S. cyclical shares.&nbsp;Treasury&nbsp;yields climbed.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield advanced past 1.6%, a&nbsp;gauge of the dollar was steady and the yen held a decline amid month-end rebalancing.</p>\n<p><b>Shipping Pain</b></p>\n<p>The cost to move goods in a shipping container to Europe from Asiashot above $10,000 for the first time on record,&nbsp;underscoring the pain inflicted on exporters and importers struggling with stretched supply chains.&nbsp;The Drewry World Container Index showed the rate for a 40-foot container from Shanghai to Rotterdam rose to $10,174, up 3.1% from a week ago and a 485% jump from a year ago. The composite index of eight major routes rose 2% to $6,257 from a week earlier and was 293% higher than a year ago.&nbsp;Container rates are surging because demand is outstripping the availability of the 20- and 40-foot steel boxes that carry the lion’s share of global trade.</p>\n<p><b>Teething Troubles</b></p>\n<p>After much fanfare before their launch, Hong Kong’svirtual banks are&nbsp;making limited inroadsagainst their bricks-and-mortar rivals in the financial hub.&nbsp;The two leading digital banks so far, Mox Bank, backed by Standard Chartered, and ZA Bank, bankrolled by China’s ZhongAn Online P&amp;C Insurance, predict they will start breaking even by 2024 at the earliest.
