Analysts at Nordea Markets note that in the U.S., tonight, the House will vote on impeachment and will be a key event for markets today.
- "After months of speculation, House speaker Nancy Pelosi has announced two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump: Obstruction of Congress and abuse of power due to the Ukraine gate in which Trump allegedly harmed former vice-president and political rival, Joe Biden. The vote on these charges will take place tonight in the House of Representatives. The vote requires simple majority to pass.
- According to betting markets, the likelihood of Trump being impeached as only the third president in history is high."
