TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS
Sterling tumbled 2% against the euro to 1.1265 and 1.9% versus the dollar 1.2750 — suffering its worst drop in more than a year — after Raab and fellow cabinet minister Esther McVey, along with a rash of junior ministers and aides, resigned less than a day after Prime Minister Theresa May’s cabinet “collectively approved” a withdrawal agreement with the European Union.
London stocks gave up its earlier gains to finish flat on Thursday as the pound tumbled in the wake of Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab’s resignation, with banks and housebuilders also hit by concerns about the EU divorce process.
