Good morning, traders.

The Brexit drama is still on as the UK MPs shocked the government and voted by 312 to 308 to reject a no-deal Brexit under any situation. In response, the GBP/USD pair mounted sharply after the Brexit Voting. Today on Thursday, we do have low to medium impact economic events, but the focus is most likely to stay on the high impact Parliament Brexit Vote. The MPs will vote on whether to ask the European Union for permission to delay the date for departure.

So once again it’s a big day for the Sterling pairs as these are already maintaining an average daily movement of +200 pips. In this update, we are going to share a trading plan for the EUR/GBP and GBP/USD considering the Brexit Vote.

Parliament Brexit Vote

Today, the British Members of Parliament will vote on whether to ask the European Union for permission to delay the date for departure. If they vote for the extension, the Brexit could be delayed for short or a much longer one.

Actually, it depends on whether MPs backed the prime minister’s existing withdrawal deal that has been accepted with the EU by 20 March.

Thus, the British PM Theresa May could give another try to get her deal into Parliament in the next few days.
