Sterling falls even after Brexit deal as May faces risk of Tory rebellion.

Sterling weakened even after Theresa May’s top team signed off on her Brexit draft deal, as fears grew of a rebellion from within her own party.

Sterling fluctuated between gains and losses as the political drama played out yesterday evening amid lingering doubts over whether the deal will get through Parliament. It reversed Thursday’s early advance as the U.K. premier also faced the threat of further resignations in protest of the plans.

If politicians refuse to endorse the deal when it comes to a vote in the next few weeks, they risk the U.K. crashing out of the bloc without a deal, or torpedoing Brexit altogether, May said.

It was widely expected and at the same time, there was news out that the hardliners will try to force Theresa May out. The pound will remain volatile near-term until we get more clarification

Sterling fell 0.4 % to $1.28077, after gaining as much as 0.7% yesterday. It weakened 0.6% to 1.132% against the euro.
