We looked at every UK prime minister who quit mid-term since 1990. There are five, whatever the reason they left, and all five are shown. We asked one thing: was the pound higher against the dollar three months after the resignation day than on it? The first market asks the same about 22 September. The day itself is usually quiet, because the damage comes before it. The three months after are split, and they depend on whether the next leader looks like stability or more risk.
