US Market Wrap

Markets were somewhat mixed yesterday, due to the low impact on economic events. The US dollar rose on Monday, as numbers of coronavirus cases continued to rise, and lockdowns were extended, which weighed on the US economic recovery.

Gold prices rallied on the back of talks surrounding a new US coronavirus stimulus effort. The widespread second wave of the coronavirus in the United States was another factor involved in the rising prices of gold. The US has seen its biggest hospitalization rate ever, with more than 104,000 patients hospitalized in a single day. The number of new coronavirus cases in the US has also increased to an alarming level, which has put pressure on the US dollar, favoring the gold prices further. Meanwhile, the rise in gold prices could also be attributed to the latest sanctions on Chinese firms by the United States. The US has imposed financial sanctions and a travel ban on 14 Chinese officials, over their alleged role in disqualifying elected opposition legislators in Hong Kong.

Overall, the market is likely to exhibit a thin trading volume today, amid low impact economic events from the Eurozone. However, all eyes will remain on the Bank of Canada’s Monetary Policy decision.
