USD, which had taken over from the Japanese Yen, Swiss Franc and gold as the safe-haven of choice for risk-averse investors, is underperforming but the British Pound is shrugging off concerns about Brexit – for the time being at least.

In this webinar, I looked at the charts off all these assets, as well as oil and the Euro, and at recent and upcoming sentiment indicators.
