Investment Week is hosting its Global Emerging Markets Briefing at a pivotal time for investors as they start to position for the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, although risks remain.
During this interactive briefing, we will hear from a number of global emerging market managers about their response to the extraordinary events of the past year and their outlook for the rest of the year and beyond.
The managers will identify where they are seeing the biggest opportunities and risks at the moment in emerging markets and explain the role their strategies could play in client portfolios.
Attendees will also get the chance to network with peers, quiz our speakers, as well as benefit from CPD points
GBP/USD Exchange Rate Falls as No-Deal Brexit Odds Continue to Rise
The Pound to US Dollar (GBP/USD) exchange rate fell by -0.7% today, with the pairing currently trading around $1.326.
Sterling struggled today following a lack of progress in critical UK-EU Brexit talks last night between Prime Boris Johnson and the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab commented:
