COVID-19
COVID-19 continues to rage around the world and with lockdowns and restrictions continuing, there are still bans in place on UK travellers, although France has reopened its border, easing the trucks backlog.
Many nations have placed restrictions on travel and gatherings over the holiday period, to limit the spread of infections. But there has been some loosening of restrictions in areas in the UK. The world will be waiting over the next few weeks to see how much the virus has spread over the holidays.
All these events and more have the potential to influence the markets which means there is plenty of trading opportunities.
