"It's been quite a week for investors which has been reflected by a spike in volatility, with politics being the main driver of the unrest," famous Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda trading group.
"On the financial system we now have a reasonably important set of information out as we speak that not often takes an again seat to different issues however that has actually been the case this week.
