Key quotes
“Corona-bonds probably sounds better than euro-bonds. However, given the economic paralysis following the locking down of citizens, everything is on the table. After France pledged €300 billion, Spain discussed €200 billion of spending.”
“The German ZEW Economic Sentiment plunged to -49.5 – the lowest in a decade.”
“Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is pushing through a plan to send every American a cheque worth $1,000 or more. Additional steps could pile up to a bill worth $1.2 trillion.”
“It is already a severe crisis – threatening to turn into a global recession – is sending investors to the safety of the US dollar.”
“Perhaps a more comprehensive plan from the eurozone and a pause in additional lockdowns could help the euro stabilize.”
