Pound gap up after huge U-turn announced.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Pound Sterling, which was widely traded by global investors, jumped after the new prime minister Liz Truss reversed its tax-cut plan. Last Friday, Truss scrapped the pledge to reverse predecessor Boris Johnson\u2019s hike of corporation tax from 19% to 25%, which could restore a huge amount of revenue to the UK government. Earlier this month, the UK government has scrapped its tax-cut plan after a substantial public backlash. Besides, Liz Truss also has decided to fire the finance minister Kwasi Kwarteng amid mounting political pressure and market chaos. For the replacement, a former health secretary and foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt will succeed the position as the next finance minister. Following the big U-turn in the fiscal monetary policy, market participants are seeing the effort of UK government and Bank of England (BoE) in tackling the sky-high inflation, aiming to cool down the overheating economy despite the risk of economic recession. As of writing, the pair of GBP\/USD rose by 0.57% to 1.1234.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, the crude oil price edged up 0.38% to $86.15 per barrel but the overall trend remains bearish amid the mounting of China Covid-19 cases. Besides, the gold prices edged up 0.40% to $1650.50 per troy ounce amid a slight retracement in the dollar market.<\/p>\n
