Euro plunged amid the resurgence of third Covid wave.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The euro which acting as the single currency in the European Union failed to recover from its previous trading session losses while lingering near the 1-week low level amid the third wave of pandemic is spreading across much of the Europe. According to the statistics, French health authorities has reported more than 29k of virus confirmed cases yesterday, a 4.5% sharp jump while comparing to the cases recorded last week. The jump in virus cases has led to the breakdown of hospital system especially in the capital where infections have surged. With the backdrop of virus\u2019s resurgence, French Prime Minister Jean Castex has revealed that they will implement additional restriction measures in certain cities, aiming to combat the attack of third virus wave. Few days ago, Italy has reintroduced restrictions to curb the coronavirus and the country will also be placed under a nationwide lockdown over the Easter weekend. Besides, more countries in Europe have announced to suspend the shot of Astra Zeneca vaccine over the blood clots concerns, putting uncertainty over the progress of vaccination programme. During Asian early trading session, the pair of EUR\/USD rebounded by 0.03% to 1.1900.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, the crude oil price up by 0.02% to $65.00 per barrel as surprise draw in crude oil inventories exerted bullish momentum in this black commodity market. According to the API, US Crude Oil Inventories data came in at -1 million, missing the economist forecast at 2.715M, reducing the market worries over the supply glut issue. Besides, the gold price rose by 0.01% to $1731.50 a troy ounce amid market concern over the third wave of virus in Europe.<\/p>\n
