Asian stock markets are trading on a positive note today, rising for the third straight session as risk appetite was aided by recent data showing the world economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic was well on track.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 228 points, or 0.7% amid a jump in Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan shares. The Nasdaq also climbed 1.4%.

Indices came off a turbulent session after multiple news outlets reported Thursday afternoon that President Joe Biden is slated to propose much higher capital gains taxes for the rich.

Bloomberg reported that Biden is planning a capital gains tax hike to as high as 43.4% for wealthy Americans. The proposal would hike the capital gains rate to 39.6% for those earning US$ 1 million or more, up from 20% currently.
