The euro continued rallying a day after European Union leaders agreed to a landmark recovery fund deal. The currency rose to its highest point since October 2018 against the US dollar and to its highest level since July 3 against the sterling. While the deal still has to go through local legislatures, investors believe that it will go through. Countries will start receiving the funds in the first-quarter of 2021. Still, they are worried about the increasing rift between the frugal member states and their southern counterparts.
Gold and silver prices rose to multi-year highs as investors reacted to stimulus news and new tensions between the United States and China. Silver price reached an intraday high of $22.80 while gold reached a high of $1,865. In a statement after meeting White House officials, Senator Mitch McConnel said that the economy needed another round of stimulus as it battled the virus. This means that Republicans in Senate and Democrats in the House could reach a deal. Traders view stimulus as being negative for the US dollar. Meanwhile, the rising tensions between the US and China pushed the precious metals higher. According to the Chinese, the State Department ordered China to close its consulate in Houston.
US futures wavered as traders waited for key corporate earnings today. Later today, companies like Microsoft, Tesla, and Baker Hughes will release their earnings.

Other earnings to watch will be from Chipotle, Kinder Morgan, Biogen, and Equifax.
