China will be investing in the development of a nuclear power station at
Hinkley Point as part of new economic ties being established between the two
countries. In Mark Carney’s speech yesterday he stated that Britain’s financial
stability could be threatened by closer eurozone integration unless the UK
secures safeguards from Brussels that protect the interests of non-members.

USD
There was no major data released from the U.S yesterday, on Tuesday we saw the
U.S. housing sector data released which continued to support the dollar. This
helped the dollar move slightly higher against some of the major currencies.
The U.S. Commerce Department reported on Tuesday that housing starts rose 6.5%
to 1.206 million units last month from August’s total of 1.132 million units.
The number of building permits issued dropped by 5.0% to 1.103 million units
from August’s total of 1.170 million. Analysts expected building permits to
fall by 0.9% to 1.164 million units in July.
