Euro slips amid disagreement on stimulus plan.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

During late Asian session, the euro which traded against the greenback and other currency pairs have fell following leaders of EU failed again to agree on a coronavirus recovery stimulus plan. According to reports, the European Commission is considering a plan that would produce two trillion euros to finance a European economic recovery after the deep recession that the coronavirus pandemic is expected to cause this year. Countries like France, Italy and Spain are pushing for the stimulus to be funded by the sale of EU debt which is called corona bonds. However, Germany and the Netherlands have once again rejected the idea with concerns that they will be the ones to pay to price. Following the disagreement, French President Emmanuel Macron afterward warned that the European project had no future if member states failed to provide enough aid. Thus, the disagreement has triggered selling pressure for the euro. At the time of writing, EUR\/USD fell 0.04% to 1.0773.<\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price jumps 2.11% to $17.34 as of writing following further output cuts. According to latest development, some producers like Kuwait said they would move to cut output swiftly to try to counter the evaporation in global demand for fuels caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Kuwait’s state news agency KUNA also stated on Thursday that the producer will begin cutting supplies to international markets without waiting for the official start of the OPEC+ deal. Next, gold price retreats 0.40% to $1724.30 per barrel amid rebound in dollar.<\/p>\n
