UK Turmoil Following David Davis’s and Boris Johnson’s Resignations
On the data front, markets were somewhat quiet yesterday, with Euro, Dollar, Gold and Oil remaining rather unchanged.
On the contrary, Pound and Yen fell following the resignation of the UK Foreign Minister and the lack of trade war developments, respectively.
Today, investors are expected to focus on developments in the UK and May’s cabinet, while a light Economic Calendar features UK and European reports.
