GBP Spikes as EU's Von Der Leyen "Convinced" Trade Deal Still Possible

STERLING

GBP/USD lurches to new session highs on the best volumes of the day (higher even than the volumes post-BoE) as FT runs an interview with EU's Von Der Leyen, who states she sees an EU-UK trade deal as still possible.

Close to 8,000 GBP futs contracts ($647mln cash equivalent) changed hands inside 60 seconds at 1530BST/1030ET, easily the best volume of the session and surpassing all volume seen over the BoE decision.
