Key Quotes

“In the UK, the first polls since last week’s release of party manifestos has seen a narrowing of the Tory lead over Labour (to around 9-13 points); GBP’s defensive reaction to this – as well as remarks by Brexit Secretary David Davis that the UK will “walk away” from any trade deal – suggests limited upside potential ahead of the General Elections. Look for EUR/GBP to move up towards the 0.8700 level.”
