Market Sentiment: Havens in Demand, GBP Up on Court Ruling | Webinar

Market sentiment analysis:

• Trader sentiment has taken a turn for the worse, boosting safe havens such as the Japanese Yen, the Swiss Franc and Gold.
• However, stock markets remain firm and the British Pound has gained from the news that the UK Supreme Court has ruled that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s suspension of the UK Parliament was unlawful.

Risk off in the currency markets

Trading sentiment is deteriorating in the currency markets, boosting demand for the traditional safe havens such as the Japanese Yen, the Swiss Franc and Gold. However, many of the major stock-market indexes remain near their highs and Sterling has been lifted by a UK Supreme Court ruling that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s suspension of the Westminster Parliament in the runup to Brexit was unlawful.
