Markets are closed – and it was a decent day for European stocks, which almost all ended in the green.

Even the FTSE 100 managed to grab some gains, despite pressure from pound (which, when strong, tends to hit the earnings of international on the blue-chip index).

In the end, markets had little to react to on the Brexit front, but continued gains for sterling and on the FTSE 250 suggest that there is still a feeling among traders that a no-deal exit has been avoided.

That’s all for today. I’ll be back tomorrow, when MPs will begin to vote on the statutory implements needed to implement Boris Johnson’s Withdrawal Agreement.

More importantly (for this live blog, at least), we also have a slew of interest corporates reporting. See you then!
