E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 lost 0.3per cent. About one-quarter of all the deaths so far have been in the United States, with cases surging in a handful of southern and western states that reopened earlier.
Sovereign bonds benefited from the shift to safety with yields on U.S. 10-year notes falling to 0.63per cent, having briefly been as high as 0.96per cent early in June.
