1 Snap! Crackle... Pop? The UK election's meaning for sterling
2 Jeremy Cook Chief Economist and Head of Currency Strategy
3 Called by Theresa May a little after Easter as a need to heal divisions within Westminster following the EU referendum Polling day is June 8 th (a week tomorrow) Exit polls available as polls close by 10pm Exit polls were extremely accurate in 2015 and 2010, opinion polls not so much Turnout will once again be crucial given a reported increase in voter registrations in 18-24yr demographic prior to the application closure date. Previous elections that broke with the 5 year frequency have seen lower than usual turnouts was a June election where turnout fell below 60% for the first time since Political fatigue is setting in though (not just commentators!)

12 3 scenarios of the UK election translate very simply into outcomes as they pertain to Brexit A decent Tory majority (more than before the election was called) A diminished Tory majority (fewer than before the elections was called) A hung parliament A decent Tory majority is still the most likely and the status quo for Brexit negotiations as it stands at the moment. Campaign has hinged on stronger hand although we have our doubts that that will materialise. A cabinet reshuffle is very likely. A diminished Tory majority could trigger another Tory leadership contest and will see leadership on Brexit issues pass to David Davis A hung parliament would limit any negotiations taking place until a coalition was built which is an unlikely conclusion. If a coalition was formed there is a slim chance of a softer Brexit if language around immigration can soften.

14 We think that we will see Tories emerge with a majority of seats, up from the current level of 17. Sterling will initially rise as long as the majority is above 50 anything less and we think GBP will slide. A hung parliament would prompt a 2-4% decline as we saw back in 2010 but amplified by Brexit concerns. We remain net negative sterling against the euro but see gains against the USD. Brexit remains the crucial issue for the UK economy and any government will have to likely increase spending to deal with holes in budgets from lower tax revenue. This will be to prevent the political fall out of a recession in the midst of the negotiations.
