May survives no confidence vote, sends Sterling sharply higher
- zurück
- Latest
13 December 2018
The Pound jumped by over one percent against the US Dollar on Wednesday, its best daily performance in a number of weeks, after Theresa May survived her vote of no confidence late last night.
With May’s victory heavily priced in prior to the outcome of the vote itself, Sterling actually sold-off modestly as the vote was announced, possibly due to some investors anticipating a slightly larger margin of victory. That being said, the victory itself was pretty comfortable and while losing more than one-third of her party’s backing is a blow, May will now be unchallenged as leader for at least the next twelve months.
The outcome of the vote removes a potentially very significant downside risk to Sterling, given its potential impact on Brexit. May will now return to Brussels today to seek additional reassurances that the Irish border ‘backstop’ will not be in place indefinitely. Whether that will be enough to sway MPs to back her deal remains to be seen.
Draghi set to confirm QE end this afternoon
The Euro traded within a relatively narrow band this morning, with investors in a fairly cautious mood ahead of this afternoon’s European Central Bank monetary policy announcement.
As we mentioned earlier in the week, we think that Draghi will confirm the bank’s QE programme is set to end this month, although he is likely to take on a more dovish tone of communications given the recent disappointments in economic data. We think that downward revisions to the ECB’s growth and inflation forecasts cannot be ruled out.
Earlier on Wednesday, the latest US inflation data came in bang in line with expectations, showing that consumer price growth was flat month-on-month in November. With inflationary pressures easing in the US, it is now looking likely that the Federal Reserve will pause its hiking cycle in 2019.
