EUR/USD and GBP/USD Forecast July 4, 2016: DailyForex

Published on 1 Jul 2016

The EUR/USD pair had a fairly volatile day on Friday, but did end up forming a positive candle. At the moment, we are testing the bottom of an uptrend line that had previously been very important. Because of this, we could get a little bit of resistance but at this point in time I think the one thing you can count on more than anything else in this pair: volatility. I do not like buying the Euro at this point, I think there are far too many reasons the think that there could be trouble down the road, so I’m waiting to see whether or not we get an exhaustive candle. We do, I will not hesitate to sell this pair. It makes quite a bit of sense that the US dollar will strengthen over the longer term, because quite frankly the only real concern with the US dollar is that there will be any interest-rate hikes soon.

#Ukraine - Brexit for Ukraine: Experts share thoughts how Brexit will affect Ukraine's future: UKRAINE TODAY

Published on 2 Jul 2016

127 billion US dollars is a price of Brexit for the richest people on the world. This is the approximate sum 400 tycoons including Microsoft founder Bill Gates lost at stock markets on Friday, as soon as the referendum results were officially declared. George Soros in turn gained a good deal on British pound weakening, since he has been providently obtaining gold bars and shares of gold-mining companies.

While the financial geniuses compete for large personal incomes, world stock markets tremble in fear. British pound of sterling's has lost more than 10% of its value, having fallen to the 1985 indices. As a result, European currency rate is 3,5% cheaper in comparison to US dollar.

All these boring financial activities could have been ignored, if the E.U. was not the main trading partner of Ukraine. However, since 34% of Ukrainian export goods head to the West, Ukrainian specialists express big worries concerning the issue.

Apart from economic problems, Brexit may postpone the adoption of visa-free regime for Ukraine. One of the reasons why London initiated the Brexit referendum was migrant's crisis. In fear of illegal refugees the EU may simply delay visa liberalization.

#UK - Sadiq Khan: 'Leave' camp must explain rising xenophobia - UpFront: Al Jazeera English

Published on 2 Jul 2016

Just a week after Britain's vote to leave the European Union, the UK is facing a potential economic downturn, a political crisis and a spate of racist attacks.

During the referendum, those on both sides of the debate accused each other of lies, smears and racism, but with Islamophobic and racist abuse now on the rise, who is to blame for the spike in attacks?

In this week's Headliner, Mehdi Hasan speaks to London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who says the leaders of the "Leave" campaign must explain why there is now a sharp increase in racist attacks.

"You can't escape the fact that the ['Leave'] campaign was horrible," he adds.

When asked how best to combat Islamophobic rhetoric, the London mayor says that the country must "beat it one person at a time, one newspaper at a time, one media outlet at a time."

Watch more of Mehdi Hasan's interview with Sadiq Khan, in which they discuss the political crisis facing the Labour party and Jeremy Corbyn.
