Doubts regarding vaccines and delayed stimulus package fuel risk aversion on markets

US 10y bond yields are down and nearing 1% and the USD is strengthening again: the EUR/USD is trading around 1.2120 at the time of writing. The two-day Fed meeting starting today may be more important than thought initially to reassure markets.
