Global Currency
The dollar fell on Tuesday after an apparent breakthrough in Brexit
negotiations between the European Union and Britain encouraged
buying of riskier currencies. The yen was also lower as investors'
mood turned positive following news that British Prime Minister
Theresa May had secured legally binding assurances from the EU
hours ahead of a parliamentary vote on her Brexit withdrawal deal.
The pound rallied in early European hours on Tuesday after British
Prime Minister Theresa May secured last‐minute changes from the
European Union for her Brexit deal before a crucial vote in
parliament later in the day. The pound was up 0.6% at $1.3230 by
4:35AM taking its gains over two days to more than 1.5%.

Oil rose to around $67 a barrel on Tuesday, supported by Saudi
Arabia's plan for further voluntary supply curbs in April and by a cut
in oil exports from Venezuela due to a power outage.
Gold prices rose on Tuesday as the dollar weakened against the
pound after the European Commission accepted amendments to the
UK's Brexit deal, although gains were limited as the agreement also
buoyed sentiment for riskier assets.
