Theresa May is continuing talks to attempt to reach a consensus with Labour on a Brexit deal that can command support across the House today, although little progress so far has been seen. Meanwhile, she has written to the European Union to request an extension until 30th June. EU leaders will discuss the request at a summit on Wednesday, with differing opinions already emerging.
It’s a quiet day for the euro today, although the German balance of trade figures have come in higher than expected – but still showing a drop year-on-year.
In the US, there was a surprise fall in manufacturing jobs, and slowing of wage growth, but non-farm payrolls came in positively.
Don’t leave your money to chance – this Friday is still legally ‘Brexit day’ and, with the summit on Wednesday, there’s a lot of volatility ahead. Contact your Personal Trader on 020 7898 0541 about a forward contract.
