EU diplomat being quoted amidst all the current noise 19 March

  • EU UK concluded agreements on Brexit text on transition, citizens rights, financial settlement

A deal made on financial settlement? Another big UK climb down if true. UK previously been adamant that they couldn't sort that without knowing full facts of final deal./

Sky reporting:

  • a UK govt source also saying transition period to be agreed today
  • Dec 2020 cut off date for transition
  • UK to be allowed to agree 3rd party trade deals during transition
  • UK may be given a say on fishing quotas

GBPUSD understandably less than impressed and back down to 1.4014 but we still wait to hear the facts at 11.45 GMT. GBPJPY down to 148.80 with USDJPY capping into 106.20 again
