However, the trajectory of both can and often does change in meaningful ways after that administration's first major economic legislation is passed. Typically, the stock market (let's call that Wall Street) makes a move rather quickly after passage because that is forward looking, essentially making a bet on where the general economy (let's call that Main Street) will go based on what is in the legislation. Look for Main Street to make its move in terms of increased or reduced inventory, hiring or firing, etc a while later, after the provisions in the legislation begin to hit the ground.
On that count, the USA Stock market has not increased much at all since late December 2017 when the current administration's first major economic legislation was passed compared with what it had been doing in previous years. There certainly hasn't been any skyrocketing in evidence since any of the forementioned occasions.
In some meaningful ways, such as private sector jobs creation, Main Street is producing less well than in recent previous years. Real annual GDP might have ticked up a percentage point since then, likely the result of an additional $700 Billion in military spending and a $1.5 Trillion sugar high jolt in disproportionately large corporate and top marginal income bracket tax cuts.
So too might be the case with Brexit, nobody knows. There might be an immediate temporary move one way or another that settles in to a much longer term trend once due diligence has been done on its likely real world longer term impact.

As for the flights: Skyscanner.net and flights. google.com will compare all possible options and show how prices vary across days / weeks / months. The low point is usually 8-10 weeks out, then it rises quite a bit to fleece business travelers, then at the last minute it can drop again if demand is low. Midweek can be cheaper.
Direct vs connect is up to you, as they say in LOS. You're going to feel like crap when you get there either way. DO NOT under any circumstances take an afternoon nap on the day you arrive, or any day after that, or you will never adjust to the time change. Get sunlight.
Learn to think in baht.

Posts: 23Need help in Bangkok.
Hi all champions,
I need your help. I am planning to visit Bangkok in first week of July for business meeting.
Can you share any good contact of age 20 to 35 who can satisfy my desires. Last time I had not that good experience. Hence I decided to take your help. I wanted to try skinny, petite, girls and MILF types.
Also share info about pricing / cost.
Thanks in advance.

Up to you whether a direct from LHR (or LGW?) or a layover included from BHX makes economic sense, but as Mogwai says a short layover breaks up the flight and allows you to stretch your legs a bit before the second part of the flight and probably helps combat jetlag at the far end. Consider flying through a Euro hub also (FRA, AMS, HEL, VIE, ZRH, CDG) or IST as these often have good deals. Gulf carriers have a nice split of flights about 6 hours each leg too. Use Skyscanner or Google Flights to investigate.
I'd stay in Bangkok for a couple of nights on arrival also, so much better to experience the culture shock of Thailand all at once in the big city (I envy you here, the first few days are truly magical).
Hotels will always be available and the rack rate price does not change that much over time (but some have high and low season prices, especially in Pattaya). I use both Hotels dot com and Bookings dot com, there are always price differences between the two sites and I always check both before making a booking. Useful to check out the hotel's own website too as these are often cheaper than the global booking sites, but careful here as they will most likely charge you in Thai Baht rather than Pounds Sterling and the rate will change as well as your bank adding on fees for Credit Card. Paying upfront without the option to cancel is never advised unless you have firm dates confirmed, and I think you need flexibility being a new guy in town.
Both hotel sites I use have a useful map view where you can see all available hotels' prices and location in your preferred area.
Foreign exchange is better on the ground in Thailand than in UK, depending on where you buy. In BKK airport you can find ripoff rates and better rates, so go downstairs to the Airport Rail Link entrance level where there are several booths where you can compare prices, only exchange a couple of hundred in the arrivals area if you don't have the time to go downstairs. Rates in Pattaya are probably best of all (Yellow TT exchange Booths dotted around the city) and there are several good options in Bangkok too (SuperRich, Vasu, and a really good small booth above Thermae entrance).
Brexit rates? Hmmm. Who is to say whether or not the deadline will be extended.
Here's a game to play. Buy £500 worth of Baht in your local currency exchange now and note the rate. Buy £500 when you get to Thailand in the better exchanges and look at the difference. You cannot do anything else now, currency is a fickle market and you and I have no influence on the way it goes. Closer to the deadline for Brexit should give you an idea of trending. You could cut your losses by half by hedging now or you could lose more if the Pound strengthens.
Or suck it up and just pay the going rate in October.
The new referendum could reverse everything and the Pound could go through the roof relative to the Baht.
