Global Finance Report Weekly Market Commentary The massive rally in US equities, fuelled by the prospect of tax reform, came to a sudden halt Friday. US markets moved sharply lower after reports of trouble on the Trump/Russia investigations. It was reported that General Flynn has admitted lying to the FBI but was ordered to contact the Russians and will so testify! This shocked markets which reversed sharply. There is a lot of water to go under this bridge. Markets will love the tax cuts but any threat to the Trump administration would be deadly. The EUR held 1.1900, while the GBP traded around 1.3500, awaiting details surrounding the 'Brexit Divorce' agreement. Commodity currencies rebounded strongly to close the week. The AUD broke back above 0.7600, while the NZD pushed back toward 0.6900, after the shock sell-off post the devastating Business Confidence report. The new week will reveal trade, manufacturing and growth numbers globally, which will drive the markets. The Political revelations may overwhelm these, including the much vaunted US tax reform and the far reaching implications. ... read more | |

However, infringement notice penalties are fixed at 25% of the maximum penalty a Court could impose and this can result in penalties higher than what a Court would impose.This unintended outcome was demonstrated in a recent decision regarding prohibited imports ... read more |
