Stimulus, bailout hope to boost the market

Investors and traders moved away from the U.S dollar as EU leaders have agreed upon massive coronavirus stimulus. The selling of the U.S dollar also intensified as Treasury Secretary Mnuchin reportedly was looking for a bigger government stimulus package than previously expected.

Meanwhile, the stock market sentiment boosted by the hope that a larger stimulus will be given. However, the U.S-China situation might get worse after China’s consulate ordered to close. Traders and investors are waiting for China’s retaliation to determine if the conflict will become large-scale or not.
