EUR/GBP looks to Brexit vote
The European cross is navigating fresh 3-day tops in the 0.8700 handle and above on Tuesday, up for the second session in a row and always bolstered by the continuation of the offered tone around the Sterling.
GBP is poised to remain under the microscope for the time being, as the House of Commons will vote later today on PM T.May’s Brexit ‘Plan B’ and amendments put forward by several MPs.
However, the focus of attention remains on the speech by Theresa May amidst a highly divided consensus over the potential outcome.
