STERLING
STERLING: Sterling has received a boost as UK exit polls suggest Conservatives
are on course to win 368 seats, with all the gains coming in England/Wales, as
Labour's support is seen slumping, as they are predicted to win just 191 seats -
their worst showing since 1983. 
- GBP/USD last deals at $1.3472, ~311 pips higher on the day, hits best levels
this year. This shifts bullish focus to the $1.3500 mark, which has remained
intact since May 2018. Bears look for a retreat under the Mar 13 peak of
$1.3381, which up until today was the YtD high.
- EUR/GBP has tumbled, briefly showed at its worst levels since 2016. It now
sits at GBP0.8289, ~168 pips lower on the day. Bears look for a further dip
through the Jul 14 trough at GBP0.8251.
- GBP/JPY last seen at Y147.55, ~3.67 fig. better off. Bulls focus on the YtD
high of Y148.88, touched on Mar 14.
