Contrary to what was expected, Joe Biden's victory did not result in a huge advantage for the bulls, and this is mainly due to the fact that many traders now see fears not in the political ambitions of Biden and the new stimulus package in the US, but in the problems of recovering the GDP of the eurozone and the services sector.

At the same time, the news that a vaccine for the coronavirus could be available early next summer raised the position of the dollar, thus, accordingly, the euro's position dropped back down in the market.

The upcoming data on Germany's business sentiment (for November) will also be published today, and if it indicates a serious deterioration in the index, it will be another reason for the decline of the European currency against the US dollar.
