Foreign exchange and crude oil market
Important economic data are expected from the USA, and the first applications for unemployment benefits and early economic indicators are on the agenda for the afternoon. In Great Britain, the Bank of England wants to raise its upper limit for bond purchases to support the economy. The crude oil market has benefited from growing confidence in the financial markets. However, the recovery is being held back by fears of a second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in China. Increasing numbers of new infections are also being reported in the USA and Brazil.

Corn market
Dry and hot weather in the southern US corn belt drove up the corn prices in Chicago. According to the EIA report, US ethanol production rose by 4,000 to 841,000 barrels per day, and US ethanol stocks declined by 456,000 barrels to 21.34 million barrels. Brazil's export industry benefited from the reduction in the key interest rate, which made exports cheaper. In France, little demand put pressure on the physical market because of the high Spanish barley harvest. After the Westfleisch company at the Coesfeld site in Germany was severely affected by the coronavirus pandemic weeks ago, there were now infections at Tönnies in Rheda-Wiedenbrück. According to the report, 46 employees were tested positive for the virus over the weekend, and recently even 400 tests turned out positive. 20% of Germany's pigs are slaughtered there.
