Pound extends climb after budget U-turn

FX Talk - an Ebury podcast

Last time we spoke about the reaction in the pound to the budget and the potential impact of the tax cuts on the economy. Since then, we have seen one of the most dramatic U-turns in British political history. Most of the tax cuts (around 80%) that were announced have now been reversed.
How have markets reacted? Sterling posted decent gains and UK bond yields have stabilized. Big question for us: What’s next for the pound? Is this U-turn a green light to a sterling rally, or do downside risks remain?
