No deal Brexit is dead in the water as it has to go back to parliament for approval via the mechanism of another no confidence vote (which would be lost this time), see:

By default that makes a postponement of the Brexit inevitable as to hold an election or referendum or more negotiations will take months. However, the EU27 have to approve the reason for the extension so that takes us down to an election or referendum. Given that the government would likely be slaughtered in an election the referendum emerges as not only the least worst, but the only possible outcome. Buy £ but sell sterling assets as a high pound will hit stocks and house prices hard.

Traders are right about the no deal Brexit being off the table. Indeed, unless I am missing something - and I have not had any comment yet saying this is wrong - then the odds are more like 100% against this option, see:

Consumer sentiment reports are strongly negative. That's 70% of the US economy, and suggest the bear market rally is just that, see:

US consumer sentiment reports are strongly negative suggesting the rally is just a bear market rally - a classic dead cat bounce - consumers are 70% of the US economy and you can't have a recovery without them:

Consumer sentiment that drives 70% of the US economy strongly suggests this is only a bear market rally, see:

This is way more important that hot air from trade talks...

Recent US consumer confidence surveys suggest this is a dead cat bounce rally. You can't have numbers like this and an economic rebound as the consumer is 70% of the US economy, see:

Agreed, thought the slump in US consumer confidence is far more important than China as it is 70% of the US economy, see:

Consumer sentiment is slumping and that's 70% of the US economy, see:

That's far more significant than Chinese trade talks!
