TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

Joshua Mahony, market analyst at IG, said: “With the EU27 passing the bill without much fuss, we find ourselves one step closer to Theresa May’s deal becoming reality. However, hurdles remain, and the overall indecisiveness seen in the pound provides a good representation of the uncertainty of what the future holds in store for the UK economy.”

Developments in Italy also helped to underpin the tone after Prime Minister Matteo Salvini signalled over the weekend that the country may lower its contentious borrowing target. This comes after the EU rejected Italy’s budget proposal for next year over the country’s plans to keep its deficit at 2.4%.
