EUR/USD breaks below 1.0900 support level
Coronavirus is still number one theme and certainly every investor follows the updates from China. As of Monday night, China’s officials confirmed 42,638 cases, meaning that there have been almost 2,500 new cases. More than 1 thousand people have died in the country so far. The pace does not seem to decrease as global chain supplies are at risk.
Ironically, stock markets seem to forget about the deadly virus as the majority of global indices keep rising today. Surprisingly, even Asian markets tended to surge - HSCEI rose a staggering 1.45%. European markets are positive as well. Worth mentioning is the fact that DE30 has soared to new all-time highs and managed to maintain it throughout the session. Wall Street opened higher, with the S&P500 and the NASDAQ reaching fresh all-time highs as well.

Today EUR/USD broke below the 1.0900 support level, which was the lowest level since September 2019.

Traders should pay attention to whether the 1.0900 support level will be broken again.
