Pound Surges, USD Plummets after Trump, May Comments

The sterling pound finally increased in value after a long slump after UK PM Theresa May outlined her plans for the hard Brexit process, therefore clearing up some of the Brexit-related confusions and placating investors. Meanwhile, US president-elect Donald Trump has recently commented on the strength of the dollar, saying that the USD’s current value might be “too strong” for the US economy to handle. This has then prompted USD investors to vacate the dollar and move to riskier assets such as stock markets and has caused the dollar to drop in value.
