Investing.com - The pound rallied on Thursday after the European Union Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson both confirmed via twitter that a Brexit deal had been reached.

  • GBP/USD jumped 0.8% to 1.2923 as of 5:40 AM ET (9:40 GMT). Gains were capped after Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party said it remains opposed to the proposed agreement, which means it is unlikely to be passed by the U.K. Parliament.

  • EUR/GBP fell 0.3% to 0.8598.

    This guy, look-a-like as Trump, will probably go out with no-deal if needed. I think the market will react negatively, he does not seem to want to make things go well. It's all a play for the gallery. My theory.
    after good news take opposite position
    I think many people want to see no-deal more..... But now, I want to know how boris johnson make a deal with North Iceland.
    my inverse... T.T targeting for no-deal
    So you think pound is going to drop after this spike?
     Isn't it a temporary case? I think it will be back to its position. I don't know much about Eurozone.
    Parliament next
    Yeah sure.....
