US retail stocks gained as the economy reopened and consumers shopped in preparation for a return to work and school. Macy’s (+31%) and Signet (+14%) rose.

European retail also suffered following a resurgence of Covid-19. Pandora (-3%) and LVMH (-2%) both dropped. Mining stocks were relatively stable. Mountain Province (+3%), Rio Tinto (+2%) and Lucapa (+2%) were up, while Petra (-2%) and Lucara (-1%) slipped.
