“Behind the Mask” is more than just a Fleetwood Mac album. It’s a science-based recommendation by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and even a requirement under a patchwork of state and local laws designed to stem the spread of the coronavirus.

In only their second face-to-face meeting since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic, EU and UK negotiators, this week, failed to make significant strides in the post-Brexit future relationship negotiations.
In the sixth round of negotiations between EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier and his UK counterpart, David Frost, the sides failed to reach a breakthrough on the key stumbling blocks: clear rules for a level-playing field for fair and open competition, fisheries, as well as the role of the European...

The U.S. Dollar is trading in mixed direction as major currencies remain elevated while commodity-based currencies tumbled. This morning, we saw the release of Jobless Claims rise higher than expected by 1.4MM while Continuing Claims declined a bit. Overall, markets seem to be encouraged by recent earnings, but the buck has no clear guidance as the U.S. economy faces challenges from the pandemic.
