One of the biggest topics of the last week is the possibility of starting a trade war due to statements by Donald Trump on the imports of steel and aluminium. Moreover, analysts say the adoption of these rules may affect the global economy and reduce it to $500 billion by the year 2020.
Furthermore, a sensational event was the statement by Theresa May in relation to the terrorist attack in the UK towards the Russian secret services and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the event of a conflict escalation the United Kingdom may impose new sanctions on Russia, which would have a negative effect on its economy and the national currency.
Against the backdrop of crude oil reserves growth and production in the United States energy prices fell and at the moment the price of Brent crude oil is below $65 per barrel.
