According to Reuters, UK Prime Minister Theresa May welcomed the European Union\u2019s decision to delay Brexit, stating that lawmakers in the British parliament now had clear choices on what to be done next. Britain may leave the European Union without a deal on April 12 if lawmakers reject May\u2019s Brexit deal next week. In addition, EU gave the British leader an extra two months, until May 22 if she wins the next week\u2019s vote in the Parliament. However, losses experienced by the US dollar were limited as investors digests bullish economic data from yesterday.
