The dollar climbed and stocks were mixed as the worsening pandemic and lack of progress on Brexit trade talks sapped risk appetite despite an agreement on a U.S. stimulus package. Crude oil sank about 3%.
The pound was under pressure, slumping more than 1%, as U.K. authorities tackled a fast-spreading new coronavirus and an official said “significant differences” remain in trade talks with the European Union. The Australian dollar fell amid new restrictions in Sydney due to a growing virus cluster. Treasuries ticked higher with gold.
S&P 500 futures fluctuated, while major Asia Pacific equity markets were little changed. Congressional leaders reached a deal on roughly $900 billion of outlays to support the U.S. economy amid escalating virus cases. European stock futures underperformed as Germany and France halted flights from Britain.
