Sterling has moved slightly lower this morning after the election debate yesterday. Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn clashed over issues such as Brexit and the NHS, however nothing surprising or significant came from either candidate.
Yesterday afternoon, the pound was still not far off a six-month high against the euro as optimism for a Conservative Party majority remained. This is seen as sterling positive because it is thought that it will solve the Brexit impasse. Some experts are saying, however, that the markets aren’t considering the trade talks with the EU that would have to take place for Boris Johnson to get his withdrawal deal through.
The Liberal Democrats are due to release their manifesto later today.
