Brexit: UK PM Johnson is unlikely to trigger Article 16 ahead of May’s Stormont elections – FT

“War in Ukraine has reshaped ministerial thinking on the protocol ahead of May’s Stormont elections,” said the Financial Times (FT) late Thursday.

Key quotes

One government insider said the international situation had reshaped thinking on the protocol. ‘Before the Ukraine war, it was more likely that we could have triggered Article 16 before purdah kicks in. But now it’s looking pretty uncertain.’

Rishi Sunak, the chancellor, has consistently warned ministers about the economic consequences of triggering Article 16, including the possibility of a trade war with the EU and the likely continuation of US tariffs on British metals exports, according to government insiders.

But some Conservative MPs believed Johnson was nevertheless intent on triggering Article 16 as part of a deal with Tory rightwingers to prop up his leadership during the ‘partygate’ scandal, in which he is being investigated for breaking coronavirus restrictions.

Senior Conservatives are also concerned that Northern Ireland’s unionist parties could suffer in May’s elections due to the unpopularity of the protocol among their voters.

If the dispute is not resolved prior the election purdah, it may toughen feelings against the agreement, particularly on the part of the Democratic Unionist party and its leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson.

FX implications

GBP/USD paid a little heed to the prices-positive news but the bears take a breather around 1.3350 by the press time.

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
