Top Gainers – The World Market
The US dollar strengthened over the past 7 days due to improved US macroeconomic data. Investors believe that large-scale financial assistance from the Fed will help the economy without rising inflation. In particular, an increase in US retail sales in May had the maximum positive impact. At the same time, there was an increase in global risks against the background of pessimistic forecasts of a fall in world GDP in 2020 from all authoritative world organizations such as the World Bank, OECD and others. This helped to strengthen the "protective" currencies - the yen and the Swiss franc.
