Pound/Rupee plunged more than 1% on fear that Prime Minister Theresa May's proposed Brexit deal may be voted down again next month. Also, May will face calls later in the day from her MPs in the Conservative Party's 1922 Committee where she is expected to be asked to set a clear date for her departure and could be warned that she faces a confidence vote next month.

Technical, GBPINR has broken its crucial support 90.80 on the EOD chart and after testing day low 89.9875 settled at 89.99 levels. Formation of long bearish candle stick along with recent break down is creating probability for bearish move towards 89.50-89.00. However, a Brexit jitter is not over yet which may hold indecisiveness in the Pound. On the upside, resistance is seen at 90.65-91.20.
