Thursday’s Factors and Events
Wall Street futures slipped lower Thursday, while the dollar regained its footing and oil prices slumped, as markets reacted to mixed economic data from China, tensions between Washington and Beijing and near-record coronavirus infection rates in the United States.
The breadth of the pandemic in the world’s largest economy, which has infected more than 3.5 million people and killed at least 137,000, is showing little sign of abating this week as new cases topped 67,300 yesterday, according to CDC data, and state governors continue to pause or reverse re-opening plans.
