The UK housing secretary, Robert Jenrick, was out with some Brexit-related comments in the last hour and said that there are still some very significant issues to be resolved.
Additional quotes:
- It’s too early to say what Saturday’s talks between Johnson and von der Leyen may mean.
- There is a lot to be done on Brexit with not much time left.
The comments failed to impress the GBP bulls and kept a lid on the GBP/USD pair’s intraday bounce of around 100 pips, back closer to mid-1.2900s.
