“After the initial rumour of a UK General Election circulated the markets, GBPUSD abruptly dropped from 1.2580 to 1.2505. The fall in Sterling likely came from the fear that as long as Corbyn leads the opposition, the potential expanded Tory majority could all but seal a ‘hard’ Brexit, with potential implications of no trade deal with the EU at all or agreement for the free movements of people.
