Key Quotes:
"To us, extension of Article 50 remains the highest probability outcome, which may underpin GBP mildly. Importantly though, ‘no-deal’ remains the default legal position; hence a significantly large expected depreciation in this outcome remains probable. Also, General Election risk remains high. If a Corbyn-led Government looks likely, one could also expect a new low in GBP."
"Since the RSI has retreated to neutral levels, GBP/USD may range trade between 1.2898-1.3409"
