UK
UK: A few more reactions to May's no-confidence vote win:
- Nomura: Base case - we are pretty much where we were 36 hours ago... Now we
move to focusing more on Labour and whether they will trigger a Confidence vote.
Interestingly one way to interpret the moves seen earlier today
(bear-steepening, inflation bid, 5y and 30y ASW moving in opposite directions)
is that these are precisely the sort of moves one would expect if the market was
pricing in the risk of a Labour government.
- Credit Agricole: The vote may help rally the Tory MPs behind the PM's Brexit
proposal...we remain of the view that the Brexit deal may pass the House in
Jan...even if rejected, we suspect that the MPs would decide to extend Art 50 in
an attempt to bridge the existing differences and avoid a 'no deal' Brexit and
continue to expect GBP to recover over the medium-to-long-term.
- Danske: Things are basically unchanged from the day before yesterday and focus
now turns to the EU Summit...expect EUR/GBP to remain volatile and range bound.
- BNY Mellon: Removal of one element of political uncertainty a mild positive
for GBP but scale of rebellion highlights difficulty to pass withdrawal deal.
