DUP’s Foster: Brexit extensions doesn’t solve issue

DUP leader Arlene Foster crossed the wires in the last hour, saying that Brexit extension doesn’t solve the issue and called for legally binding changes to the backstop. Says that she will meet the UK PM Theresa May later today.

Meanwhile, the buying interest surrounding the British Pound remained unabated, with the GBP/USD pair reclaiming the 1.3200 handle and now eyeing a retest of YTD tops, around the 1.3215-20 region.
