The week in a way has already started for financial institutions and traders because of the developing news from Russia. Due to yesterday's events surrounding the 'noise' caused by the Wagner Group's leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, let there be no doubt that energy sector traders became nervous and fragile behavioral sentiment was being anticipated for Monday's openings. However, like a well staged drama (perhaps this is giving too much credit to the actors) the Russian saga seems to have come to an odd conclusion. Leaving the possibility for a Part Two to develop. Stay tuned ladies and gentlemen.
