The British pound and the FTSE100<\/a> have received a boost after Liz Truss beat rival Rishi Sunak, the country\u2019s former finance minister, to win the UK leadership battle.<\/p>

Both the British currency and UK stocks rallied on the news. Following weeks of battling Truss was announced, with Truss taking around 57% of the vote while Sunak achieved 42% of the vote.<\/p>

Truss said she intended to deliver \u201cwhat we promised voters in 2019\u2033 and said she would push a \u201cbold plan to cut taxes\u201d and grow the British economy. She said she will deal with long-term issues regarding the country\u2019s energy supply too.<\/p>

Outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson called her win \u201cdecisive\u201d and noted that she had the \u201cright plan to tackle the cost-of-living crisis, unite our party and continue the great work of uniting and levelling up our country.<\/p>

Rishi Sunak, her former rival also congratulated Truss. The markets are clearly taking this as a sign that the UK leadership can now focus on pushing forward with improving the country.<\/p>

Prior to the announcement the British pound slid to its lowest level against the US dollar since 1985, a reflection of\u00a0the fears over the election battle and Nord Stream concerns.<\/p>

Investors are braced for sterling to weaken even further if the market does not gain confidence from Truss and the Nord Stream 1 pipeline is not restored to action within days.<\/p>

With the GBPUSD<\/a> pair hitting 1.1450 it remains to be seen if that will be enough to stop the bleeding. Some analysts are forecasting 1.1000 or even 1.0500 for sterling.<\/p>

However, the FTSE100 does appear an oasis of calm and still trades higher year-to-date. Trader may continue to buy dips while the price holds above the 7,000 level.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
