The Northern Irish DUP is said to abstain in the indicative vote on a soft version of Brexit, called Customs Union 2.0. After the Labour Party said it will support and whip it, there is an open the door to a majority. The SNP and some Conservative pro-Remain rebels will also back it, while most Tory MPs and Labour rebels will vote against it.
The vote is non-binding but could pace the way to a softer Brexit or at least a delay of the process.
GBP/USD jumps to a high near 1.3150. Resistance is seen at 1.3180 and 1.3220. Support is at the round number of 1.3100.
