The dollar trades sideways this week; equity markets lack direction as well. Today’s announcement of new fiscal expansion plans by the president-elect Joe Biden seems to be the most probable trigger of higher volatility.
The investors are rather uninterested in impeaching Donald Trump, who seems to be a figure of the past from the market perspective. Political chaos in Italy prevents the EUR/USD pair from settling above the 1.22 mark. The USD/JPY exchange rate hovers around 104.00, and the GBP/USD clings to recent gains. 1.37 remains exposed after governor Bailey rejected the idea of an imminent introduction of negative rates by the Bank of England.
