MPs will hold a second round of votes later on Brexit options to try and resolve the deadlock.
- Turkish Lira initially fell in response to news President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ruling coalition lost ground in a series of elections on Sunday, before rebounding back. At the time of writing the USD/TRY was trading around 5.5200, testing fresh daily lows.
