The Greenback Is Strengthening Again as Financial Assets Compete in Profit-Taking

Some market participants began to partially fix their profits in different trading instruments before the long weekend.

It doesn't make too much sense to consider the consequences as medium term yet since the yield of the benchmark ten-year US bonds fell from 0.682% at its peaks on Thursday to just 0.628% at the bottom by Friday's morning.

The Cranberries' hit 'Zombie' named among list of Spotify's 'Top 50 Lockdown Songs'

THE CRANBERRIES’ iconic hit Zombie has been named on a list of the Top 50 most popular songs to listen to during lockdown. A total of 500 public Spotify lockdown playlists have been analysed as part of research commissioned by Delight Counselling, with some 31,562 songs sorted through as part of the study. Interestingly, the findings showed that 70% of the top 50 artists were male, 24% were female and just 6% were bands with both male and females. The Cranberries were among the latter, with the band’s 1994 hit Zombie coming in at a credible 17th on the countdown. The top 50 songs have ranked by the number of times they appeared in the public playlists. Advertisement In some instances, some songs appeared the same number of times, this resulted in a tie. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Bee Gees topped the list with their disco hit Stayin’ Alive, which featured on no fewer than 44 different lockdown playlists. Aside from The Cranberries, however, there was little in the way of an Irish presence on the list with the…
