FXTM analysis suggests that with a change in government in the UK, there may be a potential decline in the pound due to possible policies such as increasing taxes on the wealthy and reducing government spending, which could lower UK debt levels and inflation rates. Additionally, with the Labour Party advocating for tax increases on oil companies, the FTSE 100 index, particularly impacted by energy firms, may face pressure.
