Over the last trading day, the pound / dollar currency pair showed high volatility of 99 points, as a result of having a breakdown of stagnation and a pulse candle. From the point of view of technical analysis, we see that the holding level of 1.3000 fell and a pullback followed by stagnation served as a certain regrouping of the trading forces, where as a result we saw a pulse move up to the level of 1.2940. The news and news background did not have any statistics in itself, but the speech was delivered by the head of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, Erik Rosengren, to which the market responded. From the words of the head of the FBI, they revealed a rather clear position in which there was a message that they would not reduce the interest rate until there was more complete information about the economic situation in connection with the application of import duties.

Keir Starmer, the spokesman for the Labor party opposition was held responsible for the Brexit's question and said that his party was ready to support the Brexit deal only if it was then put to a referendum. In turn, Theresa May rejected the possibility of a new Brexit referendum.
