British Pound Futures Drive Toward 1.3200

March British pound FX futures have continued their bullish run over the course of today’s session. Brexit developments have reinforced confidence in the pound sterling, driving rates north of the 1.3200 handle. If nothing else, currency traders are considering that a resolution to the ongoing Brexit quagmire may be just around the corner.

During the U.S. overnight, news came across the wires of growing support for Theresa May’s Brexit plan. Apparently, senior Conservatives are hinting that a shift in their views toward the deal may be in the offing. The reports have boosted the GBP/USD toward the highs of early November.
