The U.S. recorded more than 150,000 new Covid cases on Thursday for the first time since the pandemic took hold in the country roughly nine months ago. The seven-day average of daily new infections now stands at 131,445 — 32% higher than this time last week — according to a CNBC analysis of Johns Hopkins data. State and local leaders are again imposing tough restrictions in an effort to tamp down spread ahead of the colder holiday season.

The US dollar could collapse by the end of 2021 and the economy can expect a more than 50% chance of a double-dip recession, the economist Stephen Roach told CNBC on Wednesday.
The US has seen economic output rise briefly and then fall in eight of the past 11 business-cycle recoveries, Roach said.
Grim second-quarter data cannot be dismissed, he said, pointing out that "the current-account deficit in the United States, which is the broadest measure of our international imbalance with the rest of the world, suffered a record deterioration."
Roach last predicted a crash in the dollar index in June, when it was trading at about 96. He said at the time that it would collapse 35% against other major currencies within the next year or two.

Inflation concerns and a weaker dollar
Markets are now increasingly worried about inflation returning as a result of historic fiscal spending and continued low interest rates, which the bank says will likely drive more investment in commodities in order to offset that risk.

"We see trends in rising social need, alongside investor complacency over inflation, as raising the political risks of policy with an inflationary bias," the analysts wrote. "Accordingly, we expect an increased rotation into commodities as an inflation hedge."

Gold is seen as one of those hedges, and has seen its price shoot up by 26% this year. Goldman expects the metal to average a price of $2,300 per ounce in 2021, up from its predicted average of $1,836 per ounce this year.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – The Indonesian government expects to roll out its Covid-19 vaccination in December 2020, a little later than previously planned.

“We will start vaccinations during the third week of December,” Coordinating Minister of Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Pandjaitan said, noting that the government is still carrying out the third clinical trials of a Covid-19 vaccine developed by Sinovac and Bio Farma.

Previously, the Indonesian government planned to distribute its Covid-19 vaccine this month.
