USD/CHF rebounds but will it last?
“Xi’an, the city of 13 million residence enters into lockdown.”
Market demand for greenback was invigorated as recession fears send investors scavenging for safe-haven assets. According to reports, Xi’an entered a seven-day period of lockdown after 18 coronavirus cases were reported in the city. Public entertainment venue such as pubs, internet cafes and karaoke will shutdown on Wednesday’s midnight. The abrupt announcement sparked speculation for similar measure to be announced in Shanghai as coronavirus cases were detected in the past two days. Investors fear that China may enter a period of recession as more and more cases show up each day.
