The market resolves on the Bank of England's published daily spot exchange rate for 31 July 2026; the band containing that rate resolves. Later revisions to the published series do not change the resolution. If that source has not published in time, Reuters and the Financial Times closing quotes for 31 July 2026 settle it.
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.
