Another Bitcoin bull run is on the way premium
Bitcoin may well be on the brink of the next bull run, as the price on Wednesday surpassed the $8,000 barrier against the U.S. dollar following a period of low volatility. Abandoning its characteristic volatility, Bitcoin has been oscillating within a $600 range for over a week. However, this all changed on Wednesday when the world’s largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation advanced beyond the key $8,000 resistance level. This could certainly be an indicator that Read More

More falls for sterling if Boris Johnson gets to Number 10 premium
Should Boris Johnson be the next UK Prime Minister, we can expect the pound to be driven down even further. Johnson is the favourite to win the Tory leadership contest, securing the support of over 40 Conservative MPs, placing him streets ahead of his rivals. As such, should he get to Number 10, the pound will be delivered another bloody nose. Additional downward pressure will impact sterling in this case due to the increased probability of Boris Johnson taking Britain into Read More

Never mind the state visit, Trump’s multi-front trade wars are more contentious premium
As U.S. President Trump begins his three-day highly polemic, protest-fuelled state visit to the UK, the real concern should be regarding his mounting multi-front trade wars. Trump and the First Lady Melania Trump are guests of the Queen and will be attending a ceremony in Portsmouth to commemorate 75 years since the D-Day landings. Official talks with Prime Minister Theresa May are also scheduled. Coupled with the large-scale anti-Trump protests, Read More

Brexit Britain: Three lost years and counting… premium
As it stands, three years have already been lost in Brexit Britain, which could continue well past the October 31 deadline. Three years of lost time, opportunity and money that the UK cannot get back. This week alone it was announced that factory closures designed to deal with the original March 29 departure deadline led to a reduction in car production in Britain last month by close to 45 per cent. Brexit has thrown the UK into a fundamental crisis. It has cost the country Read More

The ‘Trexit’ aftermath, all eyes on the Tory leadership race premium
Following Theresa May’s announcement on Friday that she’s resigning as leader of the Conservative party on June 7, it’s imperative that UK and global investors take action to mitigate risks to their wealth. Sterling immediately rallied against the euro and dollar following the announcement, subsequently giving up its gains. The race to be the next Prime Minister of the UK is now very much on, which is likely to bring further uncertainty, both Read More

Britain’s wealthy consider moving assets overseas due to Brexit and Corbyn fears premium
Wealthy Brits and rich international investors are more fearful of a Corbyn government than they are of Brexit, with a growing number of them contemplating moving their wealth overseas. Indeed, since the start of 2019 an increasing number of deVere clients have been telling our advisers that they fear the harmful effects of a Jeremy Corbyn-led government more so than Brexit, in regard to their wealth. As deVere’s international investment strategist, Tom Read More

Another day closer to Brexit, yet another rejection for the Prime Minister.
