The US dollar has continued to grow against a basket of major currencies. The US dollar index (#DX) closed in the positive zone (+0.15). The greenback demand is still high. Oil quotes gradually win back the losses incurred since the beginning of the week. Also, investors have taken a wait-and-see attitude before the publication of the report on jobless claims in the US. It is expected that the figure will increase less than last week, but there will still be a huge flow of claims.<\/p>\n

Today, a videoconference of EU leaders will take place, where they will try to identify EU steps in overcoming the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.
