This on GBP & Brexit: "Barnier comments prove currency’s sensitivity to headlines"

This is probably an ICYMI (the past 3 years or so), its via Bloomberg:

• Pound Investors Face Months of Volatility Into Brexit Endgame

• Sterling's volatility left political pundits scratching their heads last week, as European Union Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier's promise to offer the U.K. an unprecedented partnership sent the currency soaring more than 1 percent even though he had said it before. With both sides warning of the risk of no deal, investors are going to become increasingly sensitive to Brexit headlines.

Bloomberg haven't updated the story with Barnier's weekend remarks, which sent the GBP lower here in Asia early (its retracing a bit of that as I post):
