Key Quotes

“The Conservative MP James Duddridge told Sky news that he has submitted a letter of no confidence to Theresa May, and focus in the coming days will be whether other MPs follow Duddridge”.
“A vote of confidence can only be triggered if 15% of Conservative MPs (48 members) write a letter to the chairman of the 1922 committee asking for such a vote. If a vote is triggered, it would of course increase uncertainty and induce a GBP sell-off”.
“We expect GBP to remain volatile and sensitive to any Brexit-related news in coming months. We target 0.89 in EUR/GBP near term with risks skewed to the upside”.
