Pearson (LON:PSON) stock fell 3.1% after the company launched a review of its international publishing businesses as its adjusted profit and revenue fell in 2020. Also of interest was the announcement that food delivery firm Deliveroo plans a London listing in the first half of 2021, which is expected to value the company at more than $7 billion. Gold futures fell 0.4% to $1,692.50/oz.

EUR/USD accelerates the downside to the 1.1870 region. Next on the downside comes in the key 200-day SMA. The Sentix Index improved to 1.9 in March. The dollar gained in early European trading Monday, trading around three-month highs, after the passage of the massive Covid-19 relief bill through the Senate added to a strong U.S. labour market report in fostering expectations of a strong recovery this year.
