Sterling posts largest daily jump against Euro since March

The British pound surged against most major during trading sessions today, as speculations mounted about a near Brexit deal.

Investors' risk appetite increased today after the US and China announced they reached a partial trade agreement.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated that despite a final deal with Brussels hasn't been reached yet, but progress is being made.

Irish PM Leo Varadkar and Johnson have said yesterday that a deal can be reached that could allow Britain to leave the European Union in an orderly fashion.
