The unimaginable negative oil price was the biggest head-liner last week. But the impact on other markets were relatively short lived. Canadian Dollar was much bothered for most of the week, but eventually it's just the second worst performing, following Sterling. On the other hand, Australian Dollar ended as the strongest, followed by Yen, and that's a sign of indecisiveness during consolidation in risk markets. Developments of the coronavirus pandemic will remain a major factor for investor decisions for the near term. Daily deaths appeared to be flattening globally, which is a good sign. US cases surged mainly due to intensified testing while daily deaths steadied. Italy, Spain and France continued to show improvements. But major risks are now observed in Mexico, Brazil, Russia, and to a lesser extent Turkey. |
