The Mexican peso, which had dropped in thin trading in Asia and Europe yesterday following Trump’s threat to exit NAFTA and force Congress to fund the Wall or face a government shutdown recovered fully […]
The Next Oil Price Spike May Cripple The Industry
Two diametrically opposed views dominate the current debate about where the oil price is heading. On the one hand, there is the view that the price of oil will be “lower for longer”, or even “lower forever”, as the electrification of transport will eat away at oil demand more and more while, at the same time, technological […]

EUR/USD And GBP/USD Forecast – Thursday, August 24

Will The Annual Jackson Hole Symposium Hold New Surprises?
