BOE Governor Mark Carney says sterling’s volatility will continue throughout Brexit struggles.

Mark Carney the Bank of England Governor said fluctuations in the value of the pound are here to stay if there’s uncertainty about the direction of Brexit.

Speaking for the first time Since Theresa May published her proposed EU withdrawal agreement Carney was addressing U.K. lawmakers. He also said the outlook for monetary policy and interest rates will depend on how Brexit affects supply and demand -- and the currency -- in the coming months.

There will be events that move sterling up and events that move sterling down,” he said. “That will likely continue for the next little while.

The BOE Governor echoed his view that a disorderly Brexit could produce a supply side shock that is relatively rare for advanced economies, pushing prices higher and forcing the central bank to raise interest rates instead of cut them.

The Pound fell to $1.277 this morning against the dollar.  Sterling remained unchanged against the Euro at 1.122.
