As for Turkey, the widening gap between its relations with the United States and the European Union could give the country an advantage to improve ties with Iran. Recently, America and China signed a phase one trade deal, which analysts hope could end the trade war between the two (2) largest economies in the world.

New Zealand, on the other hand, has become a favorite for traders, specifically that the United Kingdom is set to leave the European Union.

This event could further add to the recent announcement by the Prime Minister wherein he said he will not approve a free movement with the United Kingdom. Australia has also a free movement agreement with New Zealand but reiterated that it will no longer be extended. This is expected to hit Australia’s relationship with its allies. The European Union could also threaten Australia to have a green economy once it ratified the Australia-EU free trade agreement.

EUR/BRL

The pair is expected to continue its downward movement and head towards a key support line. Brazil became the largest beneficiary of the US-China trade war.
