 Sterling suffers another round of selloff today as the markets clearly disapprove of UK Prime Minister Theresa May's next step on Brexit. In short, she's just seeking a short delay until June 30.

More volatility would likely be seen in the Pound as the March 21-22 European Council meeting looms. Staying in the currency markets, Canadian is also among the weakest ones as WTI crude oil dips sharply to 58.94 after failing to break through 60 key resistance zone.

Dollar is mixed, awaiting FOMC rate decision, economy projections and press conference. In Europe, currently, FTSE is down -0.08%. DAX is down -1.57%. CAC is down -0.43%.
