XE Market Analysis: Europe – Oct 19, 2020

Comments are off

The dollar has traded softer, overall, losing ground the pound and Aussie and Kiwi dollars, though gaining slightly on the euro, which has opened the week with a modest weakening bias as surging new Covid cases push many European countries to more draconian restrictions. Asian stock markets and U.S. index futures rallied after Pfizer said it could have a vaccine ready by year-end, and with House Speaker Pelosi saying on Sunday that she was confident that a comprehensive U.S. aid package could be legislated for by the November-3 elections. EUR-USD dipped to the lower 1.1700s.
