The week 04.05.-08.05.2020

ONE SIGNAL closed the week down 0.41% while the S&P500 narrowed the gap by another 4.00%. The week has been fruitful for most of the assets we’re tracking, except gold, which has lost some of its glow in the emerging hope that the economy wouldn’t suffer as much from Covid19.
