Key quotes

“Leaders in the old continent remain at loggerheads over the economic relief for the crisis. Without an immediate solution to the fast-evolving problem, the euro has room to the downside. Markit’s final Service Purchasing Managers’ Indexes will likely confirm the weakness.”

“The first coronavirus-impacted Non-Farm Payrolls report lags jobless claims by around two weeks. While it is unlikely to show the devastating destruction of jobs, a loss of 100,000 positions is on the cards. The figures could be a win-win for the dollar.”

“The ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI is due out after the NFP, but may still move markets. Economists expect a sharp drop below 50.”

“The rapid spread of the Covid-19 in America may prove as another boost for the safe-haven greenback.”
