Germany suspends debt limits to allow borrowing of up to €180 billion in 2021

Market reaction

This development doesn’t seem to be having a significant impact on market sentiment. As of writing, Germany’s DAX 30 Index was down 0.15% on a daily basis. Meanwhile, the shared currency struggles to gain traction in the early American session with the EUR/USD pair clinging to small gains near 1.2120.
