with regards to getting a Brexit deal, and today the FTSE is up just shy of 1%.

What on earth is the thinking in the City? Surely no deal would be bad for UK business?

The FTSE's top-weighted constituents don't do most of their business in the UK or with the EU. They're mainly mining firms and drilling firms, like Shell A and Shell B. So Brexit itself needn't have that much bearing on the FTSE overall, especially as iron ore and other metal prices have been shooting up recently.

I'll take a guess: Don't most companies in the ftse get their money from abroad? So a crap pound helps them.

If the pound could tank before Christmas I'd appreciate it, as it would mean my nephews and nieces would get £20.21 each rather than £20.

Companies that trade in $s so rise in value if the £ falls as a lower £ is good for profit.

Large proportion of FTSE100 firms report in EUR, so to that degree it’s a derivative of FX. Hence FTSE rallying post Brexit referendum as £ devalued against EUR.

FTSE 250 and GBP falls today are probably more reflective of a no deal. We’re not far off 1:1 £ to EUR.

Summer hols and imports are going to be expensive unless that recovers ladies and gents. FWIW I think it will. I’ve just opened a long position on GBP vs EUR

Which was also helped along nicely by Lagarde this afternoon in relation to EUR.

Counter-intuitive isn't it. But FTSE 100 firms earn much of their Income in USD, boosting their earnings on the back of a weak Sterling. See also index movement after the referendum result
