Another case of needless regulation because you cannot regulate for ignorance and self destructive behaviour without layers of complex rules. In this case the client bears the cost as she should as part of entering a contract willingly. There is no ...

This is much bigger than May vs EU. But not just because of a new PM but because of the trail of inaction and embarrassment which has played into the hands of the Cons Brexiteers. People in their quadrant have always toughened it out (even at the ...

It is logical when USA starts a trade and commercial battle against China, stirs up trouble in the Middle East, pushes its weight around Europe and Iran that you might just get a little negative reaction. Then you can blame the Fed, the Democrats, ...

I sense that forex markets are approaching white water following a lengthy period of relative calm. USD has a lot further upside as EUR and JPY lose traction. CHF is a fundamental cot case but survives as a safe haven in troubled times. And these ...

The EU has many borders with no backstop and this was well known under May but never made a difference to the negotiations. All that is needed is a monitor and review policy of the trade at the suspected border. The new kid is saying to the EU and ...
