Investors have been disappointed and have sold sterling after her speech, having left royal currency vulnerable to further losses.
A rating downgrade of Britain by the Moody's agency after the closing of the trade on Friday completely leveled all positive; now dynamics of pound depends on the result of the next round of negotiations which opens today.

As the power of the current team of the Federal Reserve System doesn't extend further 2017 that, in fact, all plans for rates are limited to a December meeting.

The decision to begin the process of reduction of balance in October has caused the strong movements in the market of treasury bonds, the curve of profitability of the treasures has begun to become clenched sharply.
