Both UK and EU have agreed to begin their trade talks on 2<sup>nd<\/sup> March while investors worried that tough rhetoric and hard stance in between both sides may led to a fallout. Prior, EU\u2019s Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier said that EU would not agree to a deal \u201cat any price\u201d and while rebuffing the idea of offering UK with a Canada-style trade agreement. A Canada-style trade agreement aims to reduce or demolish tariffs on certain types of products while also increases purchase quotas in between both countries.

According to Wall Street Journal, the probability of US Federal Reserve cutting its interest rates three times for the year has rose to 80%.
