US$ dips on US stimulus.

US stimulus has resulted in a lower US$ and a second day of gains for stocks. The Covid-19 situation has a long way to go for most western countries so this latest risk-on enthusiasm should be taken with extreme caution. As always, adjust trade size and risk appropriate to these volatile and uncertain market conditions.

 

Data: Coronavirus remains the main theme to monitor but watch for impact from the BoE rate update and US GDP data.
