Why You Should Take Theresa May's Hard Brexit Comments With a Grain of Salt

UK Prime Minister Theresa May zeroed in on a hard Brexit in media interviews on Sunday, sending the pound plunging against the dollar. But Josh Mahony, a market analyst with IG Markets, based in London, urged investors to take her comments with a grain of salt. At issue is Britain's desire to control immigration and its borders, while still maintaining access to the EU's single market. The EU doesn't want to give Britain a sweetened deal for fear other countries, like France, will opt to withdraw from the European Union.
