The European markets welcomed the news, but Wall Street plunged after a Bloomberg news according to which a big tax hike on capital gains is included in the next economic package of the White House. The EUR/USD exchange rate keeps on, testing 1.20, but remains above that level this morning. Preliminary PMIs will be the main economic reports today.
