Key quotes

“The Senate approved a modified version of President Joe Biden’s coronavirus relief package. While the White House ceded some ground to moderate Democrats, the legislation’s scope remains around $1.9 trillion, a substantial stimulus to the economy. The bill returns to the House, which is set to approve it on Tuesday.”  

“Later in the day, the European Central Bank releases its weekly bond-buying figures. A big boost to buying now would weigh on the common currency – and perhaps hint at a change of policy in the bank’s decision due on Thursday.”  

“Support awaits at 1.1850, which provided support in November, followed by 1.1820 and 1.1750, the latter being a cushion in October.”  

“Some resistance is at 1.1895, Friday’s low, followed by 1.1920 and 1.1950.”
