A snap election on December 12 called

FX implications:
Volatility is rife through the Sterling crosses, GBP has been as high as the 1.30 handle in the last days but has come off to test back below the 1.28 handle again as UK politics remains up in the air. The market can get back to basics on the GBP once a deal is done, but until then more of the same volatility should be expected.
