The main focus for all traders of the British pound will be on the European Summit. The European leaders will decide on the prolongation of the Brexit process today. The summit will start at 19:00 MT time and may continue until Thursday’s early hours.
According to analysts, the most widely expected extension is going to be until December 31. At the same time, reportedly the EU is ready to suggest the 1-year extension until March 2020. As we know, the British Prime Minister Theresa May does not want such a long extension, as she thinks that it’s a destructive move against the British economy. Instead, she wants to request an extension until June 30. This decision is seen as too risky for the current path of the Brexit process due to the disapproval of Theresa May’s deal at the Parliament.
As the uncertainties about Brexit decision keep circulating, the length of the UK divorce process from the EU will determine the direction of the British pound.
