This week has been dominated initially by lingering geopolitical concerns and then US political issues and a dreadful terrorist attack in Barcelona. Trump’s woes have been largely self-inflicted and the cost of his response to the events in Charlottesville could still grow in the days and weeks ahead.
Markets have been quick to revert to risk aversion mode over the last couple of weeks and while next week does offer some important economic events, politics and geopolitics are likely to hang over the market once again.
Senior Market Analyst Craig Erlam discusses all of these issues and gives his analysis on EURUSD (10:19), GBPUSD (11:01), EURGBP (11:56), AUDUSD (13:24), USDCAD (15:00), NZDUSD (16:46), USDJPY (17:44), GBPJPY (19:20) and EURJPY (21:10).
