| Sterling maintains gains on hopes Conservative Party wins majority in election - ![Sterling maintains gains on hopes Conservative Party wins majority in election]( "Sterling maintains gains on hopes Conservative Party wins majority in election") Sterling was pinned near a six-month high against the euro on Tuesday, with traders remaining of the view that the ruling Conservative Party will get a majority in Britain's parliament following the election next month. If the Conservative were to win a majority on Dec. 12, expectations are that the Brexit deal agreed with Brussels last month would be approved by the House of Commons and that Britain would exit the European Union on Jan. 31, ending three-and-a-half years of uncertainty. The pound "continued to edge higher on hopes that the Conservatives get a majority", said Marshall Gittler, strategist at ACLS Global.
