Key Quotes
“While we continue to harbour significant doubts over the effect that Brexit will have on the UK economy over the medium-to-long term, we expect the market's current exuberance to be sustained through early 2020 as a deal is delivered on January 31.”
“Consequently, we look for Sterling to appreciate further to USD1.33 at March 2020. Thereafter a lengthy period of stability is anticipated as the economy and markets process the changes taking place in the UK economy. We expect a Bank Rate cut in the June quarter. This will be in the midst of other central banks easing, and will help limit Sterling buying post the smooth Brexit outcome.”
