The British pound steadied against the US dollar today as markets absorbed the British Parliament's vote of yesterday.
The House of Commons agreed on Tuesday overwhelmingly on Prime Minister Boris Johnson's request to hold early election on December 12.
The Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated that he hopes that this election will result in a parliament that can lead the country towards a flexible Brexit.
The British parliament has rejected Johnson's Brexit deal with Brussels previously, which forced the UK government to request an extension for the Brexit deadline by additional 3 months, which was met with the EU approval to the end of January.
As of 16:58 GMT, GBP/USD held at 1.2874, with a session-high of 1.2905 and a low of 1.2857.
