The British pound slipped, while U.K. stocks rose modestly on Monday, after lawmakers in the country voted to ask for a Brexit-deadline delay over the weekend.
Paring earlier losses, the pound dipped 0.4% against the dollar to $1.2926 versus $1.2974 seen late Friday in North American trading. Still, a 5.2% gain in October has kept the pound near levels not seen since May. The FTSE-100 meanwhile, was up 0.3% to 7,173.28.
