by Jennifer

The British pound and FTSE 100 futures experienced a significant rally following reports that U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to announce a trade agreement between the U.S. and the UK later on Thursday.

Trump hinted at the announcement of a “major trade deal” in a social media post on Wednesday evening. Subsequent reports confirmed that the country involved in the deal was the UK. As a result, sterling saw a sharp rise, gaining momentum in anticipation of the announcement.
