Foreign exchange market continued consolidation

There were no major changes in the currency market last week. The U.S. dollar depreciated in the first half, but regained some of its lost positions in recent days. The bad news continued to dominate the market last week, with addition of car rental giant Hertz to the list of retailers in restructuring process - JCPenney, Neiman Marcus and J. Crew. It is a company with a history of more than 100 years, with about 38 thousand employees, whose activities were severely affected by the virus and quarantine, and the suspended activities did not allow it to settle with creditors, so a debt restructuring procedure was announced. This is another example that the current economic situation is very difficult in the country and even the largest companies are facing significant difficulties in meeting their obligations and keeping jobs.
