The GBP has been very volatile in recent years because of Brexit, but the volatility has increased further as the USD has also become more volatile. last Friday GBP/USD climbed above 1.35, while yesterday it tumbled to 1.3220s, losing more than 200 pips only yesterday. Today, this pair shoot more than 100 pips higher in a quick spike after comments from UK that a Brexit deal has been reached in principle.
UK Comments on A Brexit Deal in Principle
- UKs Gove says delighted to announce agreement in principle on all issues in the EU-UK withdrawal agreement joint committee
- UK says deal on withdrawal committee joint committee
- EU Sepcovic says agreement will ensure withdrawal agreement is fully operational as of 1 January including the protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland
- UK says will withdrawal clauses 44, 45 and 47 of the UK internal market bill not introduce any similar provisions in the taxation bill
The withdrawal of the 3 clauses which broke international law from its Internal Market Bill is a necessary prerequisite to the agreement of any trade deal. There is still work to be done. However, the market has pushed the GBP/USD higher on the news. GBP/USD jumped to 1.3390s from 1.3290s, but it has given back most of the gains now, so perhaps the rumours aren’t true.
