On the age of era where the shine of Angela Merkel wastes away, EU faces big risks not only external but also internal.

1- COVID-19 which is a global issue
2- EU-US trade which I expect to see more tension if Trump wins for second term which is high likely
3- EU-CHINA relations shadowed by US-China trade war and concerns about China's ambitions, going see more action during 5G tenders
4- EU-CHINA relations shadowed by China's action in Hong-Kong and islands on open sea
5- Eurosceptics in the union supported by far-right and conservative parties (see Poland's latest election)
6- Local tension risks in Belgium, Spain, Italy
7- EU decision system and sharing wealth problems (FRUSAL FOUR (Sweden, Austria, Denmark, Netherlands), Germany and other northern EU countries)
8- Risk of more EXIT attempts after UK
9- BREXIT
10- US attempts to isolate Russia and energy independence of EU

ITALIAN vs GERMAN 10Y Spread and EURUSD
It seems ITALIANS are successfully pegged to GERMAN BUNDS, however spread may still increase.

I strongly believe that even EU solves her problems about COVID-19 support funding if they manage to get an agreement with FRUSAL FOUR, there are still high risk areas for EU. Furthermore, I believe EURO's strength comes from being used as funding currency in carry trades and it benefits because of USD weakness.

Spread between US10 YEAR and GERMANY 10 YEAR.

As seen on the chart, I expect to see the finalization of GREEN II correction which is an ABC.

This week we have ECB meeting and EU discussions related to COVID-19 supports . Also US data will define the strength of USD.
