Liz Truss stepping down from her role as PM after just 45 days will only heighten financial markets’ fears as political chaos in the UK worsens.
We’ve seen over the past few weeks how unforgiving the markets are when the Pound plummeted to all-time lows against the Dollar, gilt yields rose, and stocks markets dipped due to irresponsible economic policies set out by the Truss government.

Michael Bloomberg’s cryptocurrency plans are putting him on the right side of history.
The presidential candidate has put forward a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies within a new financial regulation plan which states: “Cryptocurrencies have become an asset class worth hundreds of billions of dollars, yet regulatory oversight remains fragmented and undeveloped.”

Is the end in sight to the U.S.-China trade dispute? I ask the question tentatively, but China did spark hopes that a deal may be reached after agreeing with Washington to cut back on certain tariffs.
There has been an ongoing argument relating to the trade war, with some saying China was hanging on, focusing on the long game and waiting for Donald Trump to leave office before dealing with another administration.
However, whilst this view may have held up

A UK general election looks on the cards, in essence a second Brexit referendum, so it’s imperative that investors in the UK and internationally take action now to ‘election-proof’ their finances.
Following the Prime Minister pausing his Brexit bill on Tuesday, after MPs rebuffed his timetable to pass through the House of Commons in three days, the EU’s decision on whether to grant a further Brexit extension is due on Friday.
If this is the case, the

Although Sterling remained largely unmoved, John Bercow’s refusal on Monday to allow a Meaningful Vote on the new Brexit deal will place further downward pressure on the UK economy.
Sterling experienced a minor downside knock following the decision by the Speaker of the House of Commons, but there was no big surprise.
This highlights that traders are patiently biding their time as they forecast the European Union will allow a Brexit extension in the coming
