BREXIT – British Pound (£) ⇨ US Dollar ($)(GBPUSD) – Trump, Macron and Theresa May
TRUMP’s Opinion
- EU’s Donald Tusk says Trump agrees Brexit is ‘an incident not a trend’.
- The president of the European council, Donald Tusk, has claimed he convinced Donald Trump that Brexit is an “incident not a trend” and that the EU27 is more united than ever.
- UK premier uses first meeting with French president to push for parallel negotiations.
Theresa May has told Emmanuel Macron that Britain will not pay a Brexit divorce bill until talks on our future relationship with the bloc start.
The Prime Minister and the newly-elected French president smiled warmly for the cameras as they met with other world leaders at the G7 summit in Sicily.
But behind closed doors in bilateral talks Mrs May got tough with Mr Macron, telling him the UK and EU should discuss their future relationship and free trade deal at the same time as discussing the terms of the withdrawal.
Mr Macron adopted a hard-line on Brexit during his election campaign, backing EU negotiators who insist there must be progress on UK paying a divorce bill before talks on a new deal can start.

Candlesticks
A big black candle occurred. This is bearish, as prices closed significantly lower than they opened. If the candle appears when prices are “high,” it may be the first sign of a top. If it occurs when prices are confronting an overhead resistance area (e.g., a moving average, trendline, or price resistance level), the long black candle adds credibility to the resistance. Similarly, if the candle appears as prices break below a support area, the long black candle confirms the failure of the support area.
During the past 10 bars, there have been 5 white candles and 5 black candles. During the past 50 bars, there have been 28 white candles and 21 black candles for a net of 7 white candles.
Momentum Indicators
Momentum is a general term used to describe the speed at which prices move over a given time period. Generally, changes in momentum tend to lead to changes in prices. This expert shows the current values of four popular momentum indicators.
Stochastic Oscillator
One method of interpreting the Stochastic Oscillator is looking for overbought areas (above 80) and oversold areas (below 20). The Stochastic Oscillator is 22.1611. This is not an overbought or oversold reading. The last signal was a sell 19 period(s) ago.
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
The RSI shows overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) areas. The current value of the RSI is 44.30. This is not a topping or bottoming area. A buy or sell signal is generated when the RSI moves out of an overbought/oversold area. The last signal was a sell 19 period(s) ago.
Commodity Channel Index (CCI)
The CCI shows overbought (above 100) and oversold (below -100) areas. The current value of the CCI is -171.This is an oversold reading. However, a signal isn’t generated until the indicator crosses above -100. The last signal was a sell 3 period(s) ago.
MACD
The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator (MACD) gives signals when it crosses its 9 period signal line. The last signal was a sell 14 period(s) ago.
