Sterling rose on Monday, and was set for its biggest daily gain against the dollar in six weeks, after British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced a deal with the European Union to amend the original Northern Ireland Protocol.

Money markets are pricing in a 97% chance of a 25 basis point Bank of England hike in March, with rates seen peaking in August at 4.75%, from 4.00% now.
