There is some lockdown talk

AUD/USD:

US 10s

There is a rumour doing the rounds that France, Italy and Spain will go back into national lockdowns this week.

I'm hesitant to even repeat the rumour because I can't track down the source and I don't think it's true but it's out there and it might be adding some weight to this US dollar move.

At the same time, I don't want to fade the dollar rally because there is some real negativity in the market today related to the virus and political uncertainty. US 10-year Treasury yields are threatening to fall back below 0.80%.
