WTF May? WTAF?

For fuck sake.

The country has gone bloody mad in the last few days.

Usually, after an election, you get the calm after the storm of electioneering. You either feel hopeful as your chosen party got in, or a bit miffed they didn’t.

Now after Thursday, I’m even more angry than I was before it, before Cameron resigned, before all of it.

I know the Conservatives are a bunch of morally bankrupt, self…

GBP: Fading Extreme Brexit Optimism; What's The Trade? - Barclays

Barclays Capital FX Strategy Research discusses GBP outlook in the near-term, and thinks that investors should consider fading the current priced extreme optimism on the Brexit deal front.

"While a progression to trade talks is our base case, significant uncertainty remains regarding the Irish border issue, given reported (BBC) demands that Northern Ireland not receive “special status” from the Conservatives’ coalition partner, the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP)," Barclays argues.

"In the context of extreme Brexit optimism and complacent FX markets, we recommend selling GBPJPY* this week," Barclays advises.

In line with this view, Barclays recommends being short GBP/JPY* from 151.12 targeting 147.35 as its trade of this week.
