Increased infection rates

The broad downturn is coming as more and more countries report an increase in infection, which in turn leads to stricter tightening.

This also applies to the United States, where infection rates have had a record high in the last week, according to CNBC.

The turmoil in the market has contributed to investors applying for government bonds for security, and the interest rate on the US ten-year-old has fallen to 0.75 per cent during the day, the news channel writes.

On the same day, the so-called “fear index” Vix, which measures fluctuations in the market, rose 20.93 percent. It is now at 40.33 points, its highest level since June 15.
