[$$] Brexit Delays Entice Sterling Investors to Rejoin the Market
The British pound has become more appealing to some investors as they bet that the probability of extending the Brexit negotiating period, or a second referendum on the U.K.’s divorce from the European Union, is becoming more likely. Some are also betting on a lower chance of a so-called hard Brexit, in which the U.K. leaves the EU without an agreement in place, hurting the pound. Sterling is up 2.1% so far this year against the euro and 1.2% versus the dollar, having risen on Monday after Prime Minister Theresa May laid out a “Plan B” for leaving the EU, a week after British lawmakers rejected her withdrawal deal by a historic margin.

British bank Barclays (BARC.L) has warned nearly 300 staff they could face redundancy or relocation from its Millshaw Court call centre in Leeds, northern England, following unspecified "changes to its business". The FTSE 100 (.FTSE) lender said it had informed 280 staff at the office that their roles were at risk, with around 115 of the roles possibly relocating to Manchester or Liverpool in northwestern England, and the northeastern English city of Sunderland. Barclays declined to give further reasons for the possible layoffs but British banks have broadly been pursuing deep cost-cutting initiatives in recent years in the face of intensifying competition in UK lending and tighter profit margins.
