While today’s macroeconomic calendar is almost empty, traders should keep in mind that politics are likely to make the day interesting. UK Parliament decided to postpone vote on the Brexit deal and today we shall know when and whether the vote will take place. Apart from that, Canadians will go to poll stations today to vote in general elections. There is no clear favourite as polls give neither Trudeau’s Liberals, nor Conservatives enough seats to form a majority government. Preliminary results are expected on Tuesday, 1:00 am BST.
