  • Lock downs began to be lifted across most of the country by the end of May and the total amount of daily new coronavirus cases has been trending lower. But the flattening case count has not been consistent across the country.

Global - COVID-19 Curve Flattening, but Not Everywhere

  • This week, activity and sentiment data flow were relatively thin, with COVID-19 still dominating headlines and influencing the path of financial assets. Cases at the global level continue to rise, albeit at a slower pace, while Latin American countries have been unable to flatten the curve.

Emerging currencies sold off sharply toward the end of the week, while international equities relinquished some of the gains of the past month or so.
