Yesterday Samsung unveiled its new line of smartphones to the public and debuted with the first folding phone, worth $1,980, which can greatly change the smartphone market. So far, this has not had a strong impact on the company's shares, but this may force competitors to chase the Korean giant.

Despite the fact that Prime Minister Theresa May arrived in Brussels yesterday to discuss some points on Brexit, three high-ranking members left the Conservative party yesterday. May has only five weeks left to finalize the deal, and the fact that the current contract may not be supported by Parliament will also be a risk which could lead to a breakdown of agreements and a hard Brexit. However, parliamentarians and Jean-Claude Juncker say that they may be close to an agreement, and the President of the European Commission said that he was tired of Brexit.

After the publication of the minutes of the Fed meeting, we received a signal that now the increase in interest rates in the current year is not advisable and the Fed is starting to make dovish statements.

During yesterday's trading session, the price of Texas oil exceeded $57 per barrel. Statements by the Saudi Prince about the confidence in the OPEC deal and the need to maintain oil prices, had a positive effect on the oil market.
