The new financial incentives come on top of previously announced packages.<\/p>\n<p>However, optimism stemming from the stimulus has been overshadowed in recent sessions by rising risk aversion in the broader financial markets. Fragile risk sentiment has taken a hit amid growing concerns over the impact of the coronavirus crisis on global economies.<\/p>\n<p>Investors are selling out of riskier assets and currencies, such as the Indian Rupee, in favour of safer havens.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian BSE Sensex index traded -2.77% lower, US stock markets also closed sharply lower on Wednesday. US futures are also pointing to a lower start on Wall Street today.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the risk off climate, Federal Reserve Jerome Powell also warned of a prolonged economic recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Investors will now look towards US initial jobless claims data for further clues as to the damage that the coronavirus outbreak is inflicting on the US economy. This report has quickly become on the the most hotly anticipated macro data release given to its timely insight into the health of the US economy.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts are expecting another 2.5 million Americans to have filed for unemployment benefits in the week ending 9<sup>th<\/sup> May. Whilst this is an extraordinarily high number, it is down from last week\u2019s 3.16 million. Jobless claims have been falling steadily since the record 6.8 million reached on 28<sup>th<\/sup> March.<\/p>\n<p>An additional 2.5 million Americans filing for unemployment benefits would take the total to 36 million since the 21<sup>st<\/sup> March when the coronavirus crisis started. This equates to around 25% of the entire US working population.<\/p>\n<p>More recently investors have shrugged off horrifying initial jobless claims data. However, with Federal Reserve Jerome Powell\u2019s words of warning, a weak reading today could prove too much for risk sentiment to handle.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rupee pares rescue package inspired gains from earlier in week Jerome Powell sparks risk off trading after warning of extended economic recovery 5 million more Americans expected to have filed for unemployment benefit At 11:30 UTC USD\/INR +0.27% at 75.56 &gt; Real time exchange rates The Indian Rupee is edging lower versus the US Dollar [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":163946597,"featured_media":47269,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1693,1381],"tags":[1655,2555,1666,2047,1397,1398],"class_list":{"0":"post-100103","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-inr","8":"category-usd","9":"tag-indian-rupee","10":"tag-initial-jobless-claims","11":"tag-inr","12":"tag-risk-off","13":"tag-us-dollar","14":"tag-usd"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
