Is brexit deal announcement scheduled for 31st December or some date earlier?

lovely, out 13460 for quick 27 pips

london red  08:50:46 GMT - 12/04/2020

getting closer to no deal. eu officially saying it will not budge (michel). down to the uk. and boris. i doubt he can sell a deal of leaving eu and getting nothing. no deal chance is growing. they cant let it run much past mid dec.

kl fs  09:05:38 GMT - 12/04/2020

looks like cable's downside reaction is always limited, opportunity to buy every dips maybe usd weakness is more predominant theme?

london red  09:09:17 GMT - 12/04/2020

mkt believes there will be a deal til they tell them there isnt. thats how it always works. buying dips will work until they come and and say no deal, then everyone will try to leave longs at once...

kl fs  09:20:35 GMT - 12/04/2020

red, yes i agree, but if they manage to push it as high as possible say 1.40, then maybe the picture will be different aftermath compared to say if it stays around 1.34?

kl shawn  09:28:15 GMT - 12/04/2020

given the series of headlines we have seen, it should have spooked the market if market has been expecting a deal and we wont be at 1.34, so maybe a worst case scenario has been priced in anyway?

kl shawn  09:30:00 GMT - 12/04/2020

JP, so the way euro is trading though, it will get the best out of this situation until ECB complains?

AT Trader john  09:34:34 GMT - 12/04/2020

Maybe I am naïve, but this looks to me like an intentional effort by the EU to sabotage the Brexit talks?? Am I wrong??

london red  09:39:56 GMT - 12/04/2020

shawn the worst case scenario is euro sterling parity. nothing has been priced in except a deal at around 85-90% probability. even if there is a deal it will be bare bones and sterling will initially climb 3-5% yet finish down on the day as it has already been largely priced in. the downside has not even been looked at. no deal means wto terms and tariffs on goods

london red  09:43:43 GMT - 12/04/2020

john, the eu is sticking to its 4 pillars and has every right. compromising here will open a can of worms for the future - anyone wanting to leave will know the eu can be compromised. for the good of the future of the eu, the eu cannot budge. as for the uk, it is also within its rights to get what it can. but bare bones is certainly worse than what they have now. so bare bones deal means sterling weakness over next few months relative to euro. a no deal gives you a big mark down at which one can buy give the worst would be in the price. all roads lead to a deal, once you have no deal there is little downside.

kl shawn  09:45:15 GMT - 12/04/2020

thanks for the insight, red if 3-5% initial spike to be expected, that will take us to 1.40 first, most retails will be dead by then even if their short is proven to be right this is not going to be fun for most sterling traders out there

kl fs  09:49:49 GMT - 12/04/2020

follow the money trails, sterling is a buy on dips

Mtl JP  09:52:54 GMT - 12/04/2020

shawn so far I am sticking to my 18:33 Dec 3 - john - that same hypothesis crossed my mind. European princes are a devious and evil genetical pool, historically. Here is my hope: Possibly they have internal strife in light of the "democracy": ..."Each country has a veto. .... France will veto a Brexit deal if the EU member state does not like it, the country's European Affairs minister has said." ... - telegraph

london red  09:58:59 GMT - 12/04/2020

eu saying a breakthrough is imminenet yet uk is saying chances are receding. eu wants this put to bed by 10/11 dec eu meet as it wants to focus on budget and help package which the hungarians and poles are blocking. so it has bigger fish to fry. the uk has no rush. covid is already making things pretty bad, brexit is a drop in the ocean. we will see who blinks

- pro brexit want UK to go back in time to mid 90's or other point of time in the past. - anti Brexit want to stay in current times and keep their capital accumulation and growth process remain unharmed. why the "money" is against Brexit?! well, global capital distribution is handled from such compressed circles at the present and Brexit is harming them. this is how I see the narratives around brexit. therefore, I remain with my stand that no matter if there is a deal or no deal, in reality all to remain the same. more or less check points do not change reality.

MM, that's very encouraging for cable bulls actually, 1.51 not bad for 1:1 leverage, even considering most only expect it down to 1.20 in worst case scenario, so 1400 pips down or 1700 up, still up is more rewarding, not?

why should sterling fall on a bare bones deal? well imagine eu membership as a full option gym pass. you get everything for a monthly fee. now if you leave you still have access to a lot of things in the gym but you must pay your way, inevitably more expensive than a monthly pass. this is the difference between what the uk has now and what it will have from jan 1st 2021. and why sterling will not be rallying more than a few hours after a bare bones deal is announced. remember the uk has already left the eu. and if no bares deal happen, then the uk loses rights to many things and has to pay more those those rights that remain. of course, in time it can build its own gym, to its own requirements (thats the bit about buy the no deal mark down). in laymans terms if u like

red, the GBP exchange rate is much more than only the GBP/USD exchange rate. I think with that I covered the real important issue. gt/gl

london red  12:41:47 GMT - 12/04/2020

eurgbp is a bigger issue rather than cable. and a better comparison since usd doesnt muddy the waters. in any case rising cable is bad for ft100 profits in general so u may even see the ft100 hold up in event of a no deal. one just needs to look back at price action after the referendum to see ft100 wasnt really bothered after a couple of sessions. ft250 is where the pain is felt on no deal but a 15-20% fall in sterling would help no end, but i would also expect a wave of takeover attempts by foreign parties if that were to happen.

Jkt Abel  13:24:16 GMT - 12/04/2020

There will be a deal. Boris will crack on the last minute.

london red  13:28:39 GMT - 12/04/2020

i doubt it. not right now. the eu isnt giving them anything at all. no state aid, no self governance, no right to own all their fish. he wont be able to sell leaving the eu with nothing in return. dont forget they are pressing on with internal mkt bill next week, which breaks eu law and the WD agreement.

Is there a brexit deal?

Mtl JP  14:26:08 GMT - 12/04/2020

..." breaks eu law and the WD agreement" ... - That would be a long(er)-term concideration, ya ? But not for FX market. I suspect. Current state of affairs surrounding brexit yakkings is the short-term energy driving the yo-yoing in GBP. If my hope for and bet on a no-deal should materialize, both GBP and Euro should tank some. I am still optimistic that related pops in the DLR would be limited both in scope and in time. The current trend in the DLR looks well established.

london red  14:32:03 GMT - 12/04/2020

JP, they are voting on internal mkt bill nxt week. a deal and this are incompatible. hence johnson wants them to accept this. and they wont. and thats one of the reasons they are stuck.

london red  14:34:25 GMT - 12/04/2020

sterling mkt is v thin. anyone that wanted derivatives bought them when vols where cheaper and only high risk traders doing naked spot here. any deal is largely in the price, certainly on a mkt close basis although intraday should offer a couple of hundred pips. but it will certainly be better to travel than arrive in the case of a deal.

sterling eases after talks off for the day. well thank fk for that its late enuff. if u r not up to speed but want to be, the situation is talks are at a stalled point and have been for a long time now. the eu is anxious to move onto budget and recovery fund talks in nxt wks summit meet and is pressuring the uk to fold. the eu is not giving ground on its 4 pillars nor should it. as for the uk they are not backing off either and want control over their own future. also fair enough. folks with at least one brain cell can see where this is going.

Red So no deal would be bullish Eur and bearish gbp. A compromise would be bullish both gbp and eur. In the middle then nothing.

london red  20:56:42 GMT - 12/04/2020

no deal. eurgbp rises and both eurusd and cable fall but clearly cable falls much further to allow eurgbp to rise. bare bones deal. initially cable rises and eurgbp falls (138/0.87 respectively) then a fall over a period of days weeks months for sterling as the reality strike that it no longer enjoys eu terms, but terms barely above wto. mkt has been longer sterling for months. this would need to be unwounded and new shorts would of course take advantage of this. a comprehensive deal. there is no time to do this but if it were somehow to happen that the eu folds on any of its 4 pillars (this is pretty unthinkable ), then eurgbp can move to initially 0.87 then 0.84/85 over the following days/weeks. cable would outperform the eurusd too. this means doing better on the upside and less bad on the downside. thats all you can say as the usd function is what is going to drive those pairs usually.

about half hour ago : UK and EU leaders take break from Brexit deal phone call By Reuters Staff British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Monday took a break from a discussion on striking a post-Brexit deal, an EU official said. The call between the two leaders, which follows an inconclusive one on Saturday, was scheduled to start at around 1600 GMT and about 90 minutes after that time the official said they were taking a break. The official said it was not clear when they would resume their discussion.
