Forex: GBP Higher in Overnight Trade
The British pound is the strongest major overnight, despite Nicola Sturgeon touting another Scottish referendum following the SNP’s fourth consecutive win. One would have expected the pound to suffer with the prospect of a new referendum, yet as the SNP fell just short of an outright majority, traders don’t appear to see it as an issue just yet. Boris Johnson condemned a second referendum, calling it “reckless”.
GBP/USD broke marginally above 1.4000, yet volatility of the breakout is a little underwhelming at present.
