Problem is that an interest rate rise will reduce consumer spending even more and slow down growth.
And that will cause the pound to fall.
Caught between a rock and a hard place - the classic conundrum of a moribund economy.
With over 60K in this its a huge gamble agreed but you got to put a lot in to get a decent return. Long term I agree with you on inflation and possible national strikes levelling things out but from what I can see inflation is set to drop early 2019 and don't think the national strikes will be effective in Uk, is not a good place for JAMS and they need the cash.Warning unicorn meat may give you hallucinationsComment

With conditions of Brexit known either good or bad I believe that businesses knowing where they stand is a better situation than not knowing and pound always rises on business certainty.

It's in the first stages of becoming a banana republic currency and wild swings are to be expected within the context of an accelerated long-term decline.Hard Brexit now!

With many years of fintech experience I have met a few day traders and this is where a lot of the dealers are also putting their money, there has been a 35% increase in funds to this contract since 18 days ago so ever hopeful.
