Clear off

Britain’s increasingly fractious relationship with Brussels is showing up in a predictable place. The European Union could restrict euro clearing in London, the Financial Times reported on Monday. It’s a timely reminder of the risks to the United Kingdom of breezily accepting a so-called hard Brexit. Britain and the EU have for years bickered about control of clearing houses – the financial utilities that stand between counterparties on derivatives trades and provide protection in the event that a trader goes bust.

As has been repeatedly stated, the final deal will be the result of hard negotiations and hence will be necessarily opaque for some considerable time (a viewpoint we outlined in a recent Market Insight [2]). Given how extremely messy and

Brexit – Project Fear is Working

With less than 10 weeks to go the EU referendum debate in the UK continues to hot up. The UK government is, for the first time in a generation, putting the EU question directly to the electorate. This should be viewed as a positive move and demonstrates democracy in action. However, far from there being a reasoned debate on the pros and cons of continued EU membership, to-date it has become an exercise in scaremongering. Both sides are using scare tactics to fuel emotions which they feel will give them an advantage in the debate. Fear is the most prominent sentiment
