The UK gov has voted down the exit deal, meaning with only 3 days of parliament left to sit, there is much uncertainty as to what will happen next.
The deadline of March 29th, the end date for brexit, approaches and if no deal is done they get a 'hard brexit', meaning the UK will have to negotiate trade deals etc with all countries around the world.
This mean the 19th Jan will be an interesting date. Up until then stock markets around the world will be in a state of flux.
The uncertainty is surely going to cause some market movement, and uncertainty typically means that investors leave the markets and park their money somewhere else. Either as cash, gold or perhaps crypto.
Such huge amounts of 'money', could mean that crypto does very well in the short term at least.
