Interlocking Module Mats

Modular mats, also well known as interlocking tiles or interlocking floor mats, are manufactured using the “jigsaw puzzle” structure. Unlike one-piece mat, modular mat consists of numerous elements that are easily and seamlessly assembled. Compared to other types of mats, interlocking mat has several sizes, depending on the amount of pieces in one kit.

There is a public holiday today in the US and in the UK today which could leave the markets quite flat today.

There were some major political events over the weekend, firstly the election in Ukraine where Poroshenko has won the presidential election based on exit poll & the European parliament election was also held on Sunday. These elections did not really impact the markets.

Gold futures fell for the second time three days as a sign of recovery in the US economy curbed the demand & WTI Crude oil futures climbed to a five week high after US crude inventories tumbled.

AUD/USD faces the potential tailwind of a solid CAPEX report (Thursday) amidst a range‑trading and a heavy USD. News of a successful “transition” in the Australian economy towards non‑mining business investment will be supportive for further gains in AUD/USD this week.
