Diplomats and officials are still warning that there would be several obstacles before a possible Brexit deal is achieved, despite market euphoria.STERLING soared by 3 cents to more than 1.25 against the US dollar, the highest levels in the past month.

The current optimism follows Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar comments that Thursday's lengthy talks with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson were"positive and constructive". Mr Varadkar said that it was premature to disclose compromises over the Irish border with Northern Ireland.

Mr Johnson must also obtain a deal approval from all 27 EU leaders and then sell expected compromises to his proposals to the Northern Ireland Democratic Unionists who have helped prop up his minority Conservative government. He must persuade the European Research Group, the hardline Brexitier Tories and hope that opposition Labour MPs, who support Brexit, will support him.
