Key Movers

In the U.K., despite the Sterling rallying when Johnson struck his deal, the big event will take place this weekend. Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party is refusing to support a Brexit deal in Brussels, and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will find out tomorrow if he can gather enough votes to get it through Parliament. Boris Johnson would need to convince his party, counting on some of the rebels he got rid of last month, hard-line Brexiters, plus a few Labour lawmakers to back his deal. Everything is expected to happen by 9:30 am EST this Saturday, and because the FX market is closed on the weekends, we expect big swings in the British Pound FX pairs Sunday night EST.

A deceleration in investment was the main driver for the lower-than-expected GDP. Market participants did not sell off the Yuan because they are waiting to learn more about an upcoming meeting of the Communist Party's top leadership for a possible review of economic stimulus measures.
