- GBP/USD to slump to the 1.2500 zone in a no-deal Brexit outcome - MUFG
GBP/USD to slump to the 1.2500 zone in a no-deal Brexit outcome - MUFG
FXStreet notes that a new coronavirus strain in the UK triggered flight bans and heightened concerns but the pound weakness also partly reflects some disappointment that the EU and UK have again failed to make a breakthrough in Brexit trade talks over the weekend. Economists at MUFG Bank expect the GBP/USD pair to decline to around 1.25 in a no-deal outcome.
“The European Parliament, which has a veto over the whole agreement, has warned it won’t be able to ratify any deal in time for the end of the transition period on 31 December unless it was presented with one by midnight on Sunday.”
“The trade talks are set to resume today. We are still hopeful that a last-minute trade deal will be struck to avoid introducing further self-imposed economic disruption on top of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.”
“Even if a last-minute trade deal is reached upside potential for the pound has now been dampened by recent negative COVID-19 developments in the UK. Cable could now struggle to advance much beyond the 1.3500-level whereas a no-deal outcome would see a return to the mid-1.2000’s.”
