How to trade Brexit?

You can speculate on any Brexit news and the future relationship between the UK and EU or developments by trading financial markets such as shares, forex pairs and indices. The FTSE 100, UK stocks, GBP/USD and gold all likely to experience some movement if relations strengthen or sour in the coming years.

CFDs enable you to speculate on an asset's price without taking direct ownership. Instead, you'll take a position on whether you tihnk the price will rise or fall by going long or short. The size of your position and the accuracy of your prediction will determine your profit or loss.

How will Brexit affect GBP?

As the UK and EU were able to secure a deal, stability might be expected to return at least partially to the EUR/GBP currency pair. The deciding factor in the strength or weakness of GBP against EUR in 2021 will undoubtedly be the coronavirus pandemic and how effective the British government is in dealing with it.

For the GBP/USD pair, there were a series of lower highs at the start of January 2021 – indicating USD was strengthening against the GBP, albeit at a slow pace. Possible reasons include the at-the-time upcoming inauguration of Joe Biden as president on 20 January 2021.
