What was the reason?
Of course, political. Prime Minister Boris Johnson vowed that if his party loses a decisive vote in parliament today. If the government loses the vote and is forced to delay Brexit again in case of no-deal, Johnson promised to trigger a general election on October 14.
Here’s how the GBPUSD situation looks like on a one-hour chart.
