News that Boris Johnson is planning to meet with European Commissioner Ursula von der Leyen later this month in an attempt to unblock trade negotiations boosted sterling. The broad hope is that the two leaders will inject political momentum into the process. The plans were revealed as UK officials warned that the negotiations shouldn\u2019t stretch on into the Autumn.<\/p>\n<p>There is no high impacting UK data, investors will remain focused on Brexit as the final round of talks before the key June deadline begin. The deadline at the end of the month is the last moment which either side can request an extension to the transition period. Although the UK have reiterated on several occasions now that there is no interest for an extension. This leaves a cliff edge hard Brexit very much on the table.<\/p>\n<p>The Euro traded on the back foot in the previous session and remains subdued in early trade on Tuesday, following weaker than forecast manufacturing activity data.
