    DXY Rebounds amid Surging Covid-19 Cases in Europe & UK

    A
    coronavirus variant spread in Britain when the public was upbeat on the
    vaccine inoculation. Several European countries have suspended travel
    links to the UK as the new variant was identified 70% more contagious
    than the original strain. Nonetheless, the new strain seems to have
    spread to other countries unnoticed. What's worse, experts could not be
    able to guarantee vaccine effectiveness against the new coronavirus

      GBP/USD today opened low at gap while the DXY gaped down, amid fears
    about the variant. Previously, the pound has breached above 1.3600 in
    spite of the deadlocked Brexit talks. But the new variant fueled
    uncertainties and sparked a sharp correction in the overbought GBP/EUR.

      On Dec. 20, Democratic and Republican leaders announced that a
    bipartisan deal on a $900 billion relief package had been finalized and
    could be quickly approved in the week. The positive dynamic has boosted
    the DXY. As more deal-related speculation is about to emerge around
    Christmas, GBP/EUR may see its correction extended, while the DXY could
    find some impetus to rally further. Besides, Trump's campaign said it
    would again ask the US Supreme Court to overturn results from the
    election.
      The seriously oversold dollar is expected to see its
    rebound enduring amid the surging risk aversion. But the extension
    depends on the Senate election results on Jan. 5. If Republicans can
    hold either of the two Georgia runoff elections, pressures for the DXY
    will be on the cards. If Democrats win both races, however, the
    greenback will embrace upsides. With that said, traders are suggested of
    keeping an eye on the Senate election on Jan. 5.
