BREXIT being still uncertain is leading to indecision between the traders worldwide whereas the UK economy is currently being questioned. A Deal Brexit or No Deal Brexit will have different impact on the overall UK economy as well as global economy.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May is currently looking forward to find a way out of Brexit impasse and mounting evidence that an agreement is within reach. Though recent meeting between May and European Commission President Juncker had a joint statement about the meeting being constructive but not such confidence is yet seen in the markets. The optimism did manage to push GBP higher than USD in the process but sustaining it further with a long-term view is still very much uncertain. Recently, Fitch stated that a No Deal Brexit is going to disrupt UK economic and trade prospect which may lead to a great downfall of the economy in no time.

On the USD side, according to the minutes of the January policy meeting, the Fed advocates for a patient approach to rate hikes and also flags the end of balance sheet runoff. During the meeting, the policymakers did not express any commitments. As a result, the market is hesitant about trading preferences that makes USD/JPY trade without a clear-cut trend. According to San Francisco FED President Mary Daly, the US economy is facing headwinds. In this context, the Federal Reserve should align its balance sheet policy with the unchanged approach to interest rates. Higher downward pressure, including a slowdown in the global economy, tighter financial conditions, and rising uncertainty over international trade, assures the US central bank to keep rates steady this year.
