Before NYSE Session Open

After witnessing the past three days’ market action, it seems that the Brexit never happened. However, considering the market trajectory before June 23rd referendum, the fact that UK-EU trade relationship will stay intact for at least two more years and the policy makers across the world are getting in overdrive to contain the damage, it is not surprising to find the market where it is.
