USD-
The best magicians never reveal the trick behind their magic, Trump would be a very average magician because the ploy is always obvious, yet he still manages to surprise.
After starting with the "Art of the Deal" outrageous opening position of a full takeover, Trump has seemingly acquiesced, accepting a deal that essentially secures much of what he wanted.
This has calmed the situation down to a great degree, after people fretting that it would mark a final shift of the US away from NATO and leave Europe adrift. Despite this, the Euro and the Pound beat the Dollar consistently this week, to trade at 3 week highs, although the Pound did have higher CPI figures to help push it along.
And if you had thought we had seen the back of geopolitical volatility this month, think again, with Iran seemingly back in the President's firing line. I imagine it will continue to be a very fraught start to the year.
