Commentary from Commerzbank on the UK, in brief from their overnight note:

  • Defence Secretary Michael Fallon suddenly had to step down last week
  • Secretary of State for International Development Priti Patel .. was asked to resign
  • The conflict within the government and the obvious lack of control May has over her Ministers is not making the negotiations with the EU ... any easier
  • How is a country going to negotiate in a unanimous and unified manner to the outside if within the ranks government members are tearing each other to pieces?
  • ... in my view the downside risks in Sterling continue to dominate, above all if disappointing economic data is added to the mix

It would not seem to be a supportive background for GBP, no.
