A surge in new infections in the U.S. south and southwest has worried some market participants, but most investors are betting this will not be enough to derail a broader rebound in the global economy. The U.S. Institute for Supply Management’s purchasing managers’ index for manufacturing due later on Wednesday is forecast to show that activity in June continued to recover from an 11-year low marked in April, when the coronavirus paralysed large swathes of the global economy.
The dollar has failed to make headway against commodity currencies recently, showing that some investors remain wary of downside risks.
