A little bit of movement in forex markets in the VERY early morning here – its only just after 8am in New Zealand. The movement is in response to the weekend news of a man shot to death at a Trump rally. The shooter was also shot and killed. Greg was on it over the weekend:
Former Pres. Trump rushed off stage after apparent shots fired
Statement from Former Pres. Trump after assassination attempt
Trump got a graze on the ear.
So, yeah a bit of a wobble for FX markets to kick off the week.
As is usual for a Monday morning, market liquidity is very thin until it improves as more Asian centres come online … prices are liable to swing around, so take care out there.
