May 5, European Commission Vice President Theresa Ribera said on Monday that Microsoft (MSFT.O) Chairman Brad Smith told the European Commission that Microsoft would comply with EU regulations whether it agreed or not.

The USD/CHF pair has detected buying activity after dropping close to the round-level support of 0.9200 to begin the Asian session. In spite of the upbeat market sentiment, the Swiss franc extended its rebound above the immediate resistance level of 0.9200.

 

After a corrective move on Monday, S&P500 futures are displaying a mediocre performance as the markets fail to sustain a recovery. Long liquidation was the result of stocks' extended uptrend. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has reestablished its seven-month low at about 102.50, pushed by increased recession fears following a major dip in economic activity and less hawkish monetary policy predictions following a strong drop in wage inflation.
