On Friday, the UK currency managed to inch up notwithstanding worries over Brexit as well as the resignation of major statesmen in Prime Minister Theresa May’s cabinet.
As a matter of fact, the currency pair GBP/USD added 0.34% ending up with 1.2818 having gone down to 1.2739 on Thursday right after Brexit minister Dominic Raab stepped down.
As Raab told, he couldn’t back the prime minister’s support terms of that draft.
Besides this, up to 16 members of the Conservative Party have called for a vote of mistrust of the country’s Prime Minister, stepping up the likelihood of the UK leaving the European bloc in March without a deal.
