TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Stocks finished in the green on Monday, even after the speaker of the House of Commons decided against allowing a meaningful vote on the government’s Brexit proposal, helped by positive headlines around the US-China trade negotiations.

John Bercow did not allow a Brexit vote to proceed, as the House had already decided on the matter two days before.

But he was careful to note that “nothing in what I have said, in any way impinges upon the opportunity for the government to secure approval of its deal.”
