Thursday 12th December at 10pm London time we will get the exit poll results of the general election and we believe the market is now very well positioned for a Conservative Party majority that is substantial enough to "Get Brexit Done" by 31st January 2020. The opinion polls have been remarkably stable in showing a consistent gap in favour of the Tories of no less than 10ppts. Spread betting markets suggest this might translate into a 30-seat majority.
We see that as sizeable enough to propel the pound further on Thursday night into Friday. We have long argued GBP/USD settling into a 1.3000-1.3500 trading range on the Withdrawal Agreement being passed. So by the end of the week we may well see GBP/USD at the top of the range - a temporary breach is feasible but is unlikely to be sustained.
Why? Well we would argue on a few metrics GBP/USD is looking stretched...GBP/USD at or above 1.3500 will be attractive levels to sell post an expected Tory election victory.
