The pound continued to perform well against both the euro and the dollar yesterday on the back of recent polling data, which predicts a Conservative majority. It surpassed significant levels, and it’s thought that it could rise further this time next week if a Conservative majority is secured. However, sterling looks slightly weaker this morning.
Parties continue to make pledges and promises in the run up to the election, with Boris Johnson saying that he will pass a Brexit deal and introduce a Budget within 100 days. Labour is promising to cap class sizes at 30 pupils across all schools in England.
This evening, Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn will go head to head in a leader’s debate. This may be Labour’s last chance to narrow their gap with the Conservative’s before the general election next week.
