Sterling is given a lift after German Chancellor Angela Merkel hinted that the Irish border solution could be achieved within 30 days to avoid no-deal Brexit.
Merkel denied that she’s set a 30-day deadline for UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson to find a solution to remove the Irish backstop from the withdrawal agreement.
