Dollar continues to slide on risk sentiment, euro and pound rise
Markets, seemingly ignoring current events, are buoyed on optimism about the restart of global economic activities. Futures rose again overnight as Dr. Fauci expressed optimism about a vaccine. The dollar continued to slide versus G-10 currencies with the exception of the Japanese yen.
“The beauty of anti-racism is that you don’t have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And it’s the only way forward.”
