Comments from Rutte:

  • Options to prevent no deal Brexit are limited
  • Hope UK will give more clarity before EU summit
  • May's new request for Brexit extension raises many questions
  • May's letter not enough to allow for further Brexit extension

Cable is at the lows of the day, down 40 pips to 1.3384. That's more about broad US dollar strength on a reversal after non-farm payrolls.
