Pound jumps on Brexit deal promise
News broke that the EU and UK reached an outline for a Brexit trade deal, allegedly coming to an agreement over heavily contested fishing rights. The pound neared YTD highs, and the euro held steady. The dollar edged lower versus most G-10 currencies as Nancy Pelosi and Congress work together to amend the existing stimulus package. Trading is overall light ahead of the Christmas holiday.
