Brexit

Speaking while on a visit to Washington DC, Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) Leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson shares his initial thoughts on the Windsor Framework proposals for administering the border between the United Kingdom and European Union.

The Pound-to-Euro exchange rate popped higher and then fizzled on Wednesday following reports that a Brexit trade agreement has been reached between Britain and the European Union, with the tepid response potentially reflecting uncertainties about the agreements' contents and its path toward ratification. 

The British Pound is in focus ahead of the weekend with the two Brexit negotiation principles Dominic Raab and Michel Barnier due to meet in Brussels to take stock of the Brexit negotiations.

Pound Sterling erased earlier losses and advanced against the developed world currency basket Tuesday after the latest labour market report showed the UK economy continuing to create new jobs at a rapid clip in April, keeping the unemployment rate at a multi-decade low. 

Pound Sterling may be tested on Tuesday as MPS gather in the House of Commons to vote on a series of “Brexit wrecking” amendments inserted into the EU Withdrawal Bill by the House of Lords, which will set the government's Brexit strategy in legislative stone.   

The European Parliament is said to be preparing a "detailed," 60-paragraph resolution which will call for more flexibility in future relationship talks with Britain that would allow for privileged single-market access.

A transition deal means a slower journey to a bad destination so if an agreement is struck in the new year, it will be unlikely to boost the economy’s performance.

"Sufficient Progress" has been declared but the rub for Sterling is that Brussels has thrown down another gauntlet for PM May with its Phase 2 guidelines.

Retail sales, "sufficient progress", the Bank of England and traders’ reactions to the “amendment 7” defeat of the government in parliament were the main events Thursday.

77% surge in Britons looking for work in the US following the referendum result, according to world’s largest job site, Indeed.

The British pound continues to get weaker and the FTSE 250 is now 10% below its pre-referendum levels. This is the market’s verdict on an unforgivable lack of planning for the Brexit scenario by the UK government.

The GBP will take a cue from the Bank of England’s Governor Mark Carney who is set to outline his thinking on how Britain's economy is coping with last week's vote to leave the European Union in a speech on Thursday.

Analysts at Citibank, the world’s largest foreign exchange dealer, have updated markets on their latest views concerning the British pound’s outlook.

The most interesting analysis of a post-Brexit foreign exchange market has been given by NAB’s Nick Parsons who says the big loser of a Brexit will be the euro and we could see GBP/EUR rocket back towards its 2015 best.

There is a good chance sterling will continue falling over coming days but, the further it falls, the greater the recovery that is forecast on the assumption Remain will win the vote.

Ahead of the new week momentum is firmly pitted against the GBP.

The pound sterling is under pressure at the turn of the month as polling ahead of the EU referendum shows a shift back towards the Leave camp.
