  2. · WHO declares COVID-19 a pandemic and a global scramble for dollars follows
    In the week and a half after the declaration the dollar rose 7% against the major currencies with standing Fed swap lines and 12% against nine other countries' currencies, as lenders and borrowers hoarded dollars.
