Tory’s Win Strengthened Pound

On Monday, December 16th, 2019, GBPUSD is back to growth after a slight technical correction. Right now, it is trading at 1.3385.

So, it is reported that the Tory secured 364 out of seats 650 seats in the House of Commons, thus giving Boris Johnson an excellent chance for successful ratification of the actual Brexit agreement in the parliament. The Tory hasn’t seen such strong results for a very long time, since 1987, while for its opponent, the British Labor Party that now holds 203 seats in the renewed Parliament, they are the worst over 40 years.

At this point, the British Parliament and Johnson are facing a very complicated and hard work to ratify all necessary documents for the Brexit. In case everything goes the way as it should, the United Kingdom may officially start exiting the alliance within the specified time, before the end of January 2020. De facto, the United Kingdom may have exited the European Union only at the end of 2020 – the year will be a transition period for both parties.

The Pound is very energetic right now because investors finally saw what they had been longing for. In this light, no external news is able to kill this positive mood.
