independent Scotland e Great Britain out of the EU? It hasn't been said yet. Indeed, yesterday the latest Survation poll for the Daily Record newspaper revealed that the unionists are back in front with 53% of the votes, while the nationalists are stuck at 47%. In any case, the outcome of the Scottish independence referendum, scheduled for September 18, still appears very uncertain.
But one thing is already certain: the recovery of the "no" front (ie those who would vote against Edinburgh's independence) is very much appreciated by the markets, especially the currency markets. Yesterday was in fact a very positive day for the GBP, which recorded the third consecutive session of gains after Tuesday it had touched the lowest since last November, in the 1,6050 area against the US dollar.
The rebound is due, in addition to the sentiment on the imminent referendum, above all to technical factors, in particular to the taking of profits by those who in recent weeks had bet decisively on the decline of the pound.
