For yesterday's trading day, the currency pair Pound / Dollar showed a low volatility of 73 points, while maintaining a downward interest. From the point of view of technical analysis, we see how the quotation has gone into the boundaries of the range level of 1.3000 / 1.3050, which forms sluggishly. Information news background continues to arrive in uncertainty. Earlier, Theresa May said that when she returned to Brussels, she would fight for Britain and Northern Ireland, but the response from the EU was not long in coming. Brexit's chief negotiator for the EU, Michel Barnier, said: "We are of the same opinion that the issue of a British exit from the EU cannot be opened again." Meanwhile, Theresa May is planning to go to Northern Ireland on February 5 to give a speech in which it confirms the government's intention to avoid establishing a full-fledged border in the region. Everything that happens in England can be defined as jumping to nowhere.
