S & P 500 falls, showing slowdown in manufacturing and job markets
Due to the spread of the epidemic on Wednesday, the S & P 500 recorded the biggest decline in two weeks. At the same time, US data showed that the manufacturing and job markets continued to slow down, which caused gold buying to rebound and gold hit the $ 1600 mark. However, it should be noted that the cost of obtaining US dollars in the market is still very high, highlighting that the liquidity demand of the US dollar is still strong.

Concerned about the number of initial jobless claims, the market is expected to continue to break record highs.
