UK: /MNI ANALYSIS: What's The Deal With Brexit?
- Since the meaningful vote on Tuesday night markets have largely moved to price
out a no-deal scenario, whilst other tail risks such as a 2nd referendum and a
snap general election have risen.
- Sell-side research still favours a 'May led deal' as their central scenario.
They see the probability of a second referendum as low but increasing. The
prospect of a snap general election is widely dismissed, whilst most analysts
agree the no-deal likelihood has subsided since the meaningful vote.
- Betting markets are less clear on the matter and have yet to form a clear
favourite (although that may be due to the Mar 29 deadline on a May led deal
with Betfair). A second referendum in 2019 currently leads the bunch with an
implied probability of 38%, a general election in 2019 is at 35%, May led deal
before March 29th is 21%, whilst a no-deal is largely in line with sell-side
research at 12% (see fig. 3).
