US Dollar Rises On Lock Down Exit Clashes<\/h2>\n

The US Dollar is edging higher across the board at the start of the week as investors focus on sentiment. Doubts are emerging over the United Sates\u2019 plans to reopen the world\u2019s largest economy. The number of coronavirus fatalities surpasses 41,000 and confirmed cases reach 771,980. Although signs are emerging that the US is reaching its peak. The figures also come amid internal clashes and discussions over the re-opening of the US economy.<\/p>\n

Governors and the Federal government are at loggerheads over whether and how to ease the lock down restrictions. Protesters are taking to the streets in some states demanding the reopening of the US economy.<\/p>\n

There is no high impacting US data until later in the week. US initial jobless claims and durable goods orders will be the most closely watched indicators later this week.<\/p>\n

On a positive note and keeping a cap on any US Dollar gains is news that the Democrats and the Republicans are close to agreeing an additional rescue package to support individuals and small businesses. This comes following $2.2 trillion rescue package previously announced.<\/p>\n
