12.10.202013:21 Forex Analysis & Reviews: USD dynamics against the background of stimulus negotiations

The US dollar slightly went up in relation to the euro, but a slight decrease was recorded against the Japanese yen.

Market participants are closely monitoring the negotiation process for the new stimulus package in the US. It should be noted that the discussion of incentives is proceeding quite productively, although so far to no avail. On Friday, the White House proposed to increase the amount of stimulus to $ 1.8 trillion. However, neither Democrats nor Republicans reacted with enthusiasm to such a proposal. Both parties are categorically against increasing incentive payments, as they believe that the situation in the country is not so critical as to ratify such large-scale payments.

On Sunday, the US Treasury Secretary and the White House chief of staff sent an appeal to members of Congress to sign a bill as soon as possible, which would allow the balance of funds to be distributed to cover wage arrears of private enterprises.
