STIR: More Brexit uncertainty....after many back and forth headlines, Theresa
May confirmed that the vote on her Brexit deal which was originally scheduled
for tomorrow, will not now go ahead. May will now go back to Brussels to try and
negotiate a better deal. There is no update on when a rescheduled vote would
happen (except it must happen by Jan 21).
- Short sterling has rallied substantially today and is still rising at the time
of writing, with Greens and Blues 8-9 ticks higher on the day. Reds are 5.5-8
ticks higher while Whites are up to 5 ticks higher.
- The Eurodollar curve has been dragged higher too, with the curve up 2-5 ticks.
- The Euribor curve has stayed remarkably calm against this backdrop, with all
contracts within 0.5 ticks of Friday's close. Implied rates on Swedish FRAs have
recovered after falling on the back of weak consumption data this morning, with
the curve now largely unchanged to Friday's close.
- Norwegian FRA implied rates are 1.5-2.5bp higher across the curve following
higher than expected CPI this morning.
