British Pound News
The Pound-to-Dollar exchange rate had its wings clipped last week after investors were spooked by rhetoric from Brexit negotiators but it could join the Euro and other currencies in clocking multi-year highs over the coming days as the two sides edge toward an agreement.
Sterling was the second worst performing major currency for the week by Friday’s close after Prime Minister Boris Johnson and others spoke of “important differences” between the two sides in the Brexit negotiations, which tempered earlier optimism that a deal could soon be reached.

But recent indications are all that remains to be determined are terms of an agreement on fisheries access, which was the main focus of both the Prime Minister’s recent statements as well as comments made by Foreign Minister Dominic Raab in an interview with Sky News on Sunday.
Fisheries focus could indicate that thornier issues such as so-called ‘level playing’ field terms on state aid, the environment, taxes, and other matters have been resolved, although neither a European climbdown nor British capitulation has been reported by the political press. One of the two is essential.
The exact timing of any announcement is still a question, but GBP support thus far indicates the market has a positive view – big downside risks if it’s no deal. Upside to 1.40 perhaps on a comprehensive trade deal.
