Sterling will lose recent gains against the dollar and weaken further if Britain does not ask for an extension to its Brexit transition period by a June 30 deadline to allow more time for talks on a trade deal with the EU, a Reuters poll found.

REUTERS/Sukree Sukplang/File Photohas strengthened this week, trading at a one-month high of around $1.26 on Wednesday, as Britain indicated that it might be willing to compromise on some sticking points to reach a final Brexit deal.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has until the end of June to ask for an extension and has repeatedly ruled this out. All but two of 23 respondents to an additional question in the poll said sterling would weaken in early July if there is no extension. Still, Reuters polls of economists have repeatedly said the two sides would eventually thrash out a free trade deal and the pound was expected to have strengthened around 1.6% to $1.28 in a year.

And once again, people will make fortunes from the collapse of the Pound. This looks coordinated to me.

We don't want another extension 4 years is enough

Why always him?

Sterling is already down. Currency values are not decided by ‘polls’ but economic realities.

Pasting... I learned a new word today. Thanks

Bullshit.

EU lawmaker reveals more than intended in video callA European Union lawmaker on Tuesday was reminded of the perils of videoconferencing when he appeared to be wearing no trousers as he discussed policy matters with his peers. 😳 Gross. Disgusting and tacky of you to have shown that. I didn't have to see that filth; you should have been clearer as to what was not revealed. Foolishness of this sort is why some people agree with Trump's calling some of you Fake News.
