“There has been a shortage of realism on the British side,” Roth added.
Market reaction
These comments don’t seem to be having a significant impact on market sentiment or the GBP’s performance against its rivals. As of writing, the UK’s FTSE 100 was up 2.02% on the day at 6,304 and the GBP/USD pair was gaining 0.75% at 1.2643.
