The US Dollar index is marginally weaker this morning but that is only after it had another surge last night as a result of declining stock prices and growing virus cases throughout Europe. There was some positive news for the markets this morning as House democrats have proposed a $2.4 Trillion rescue package for the US economy and it now has to go the Republicans for negotiations and then of course it has to be signed by Trump to get passed. Stocks are pointing some 200 points lower at the moment but if there are signs that this deal can get passed then they should recover and the Greenback will start to weaken again.

The Canadian Dollar has recovered a little of its weakness to the US Dollar but USD.CAD still remains at the high end of recent activity. Yesterday saw the currency pair touch the 1.3415 (0.7454) level before pulling back to open this morning at 1.3375 (0.7477). The Loonie should remain range bound for the time being but if stocks continue to fall then our dollar will remain weak for the short-term.
