Inside GBP averages as opposed to EUR is potential against ability to move and to see good volatility for the week. The obvious reason for range ability is the result of both the averges themselves as well as the possibility of the 4th ever Hung Parliament since the elections of 1910.
The last Hung Parliament was 2010, 1974 then 1929. The examples are few yet the modern day examples were slated to always become few with passage of the 2011 Fixed Term Parliament Act mandate to hold elections within a 5 year term with ability to call Snap elections anytime. Theresa May had plenty of time on her term to call a Snap Election. All past Hung Parliaments involved a Tory victory against formation of governments with Liberal Democrats. Today appears to be the same phenomenon.
