The British High Court ruled that the government's plan for Brexit needs Parliamentary approval. Investors cheered their decision by taking sterling sharply higher as they know it will now take longer for the government to invoke Article 50. More importantly, this means the eventual terms of exit should be milder as most members of Parliament did not support the decision to leave the European Union which means we are looking at a soft and not hard Brexit. Acting fast, Prime Minister May has already appealed the ruling and the Supreme Court will hear the case on December 7th. We doubt that they will overrule the High Court's decision because getting the entire government involved in this process is extremely important due to the potential magnitude of the consequences for the U.K. economy and how the country operates as a whole. Considering that a large part of sterling's weakness was driven by Brexit fears, a strong short squeeze is more than justified. This is especially true given the less hawkish comments from Bank of England Governor Carney. The central bank is no longer looking to lower interest rates this year and in Carney's words the "BoE has neutral bias on policy going forward." This is largely due to the improvements in the economy and rising price pressures.
