Key quotes
“News that the US Senate has delayed a decision on increasing coronavirus-relief checks added pressure on the dollar. Republican Senator Mitch McConnell blocked a move by colleague Bernie Sanders to allow a vote on increasing stimulus checks from $600 to $2,000, although Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin announced that direct payments of $600 would be out as soon as this week.”
“Further gains are now expected on an extension above 1.2310, with the EUR/USD pair targeting 1.2413, April 2018 monthly high.”
