A Downing Street spokesperson told NBC News that Boris Johnson will make a statement later on Thursday.
Roger Jones, head of U.K. equities at London and Capital, told CNBC there was"some relief" in currency markets because it was looking as if"this is not going to be long and drawn out with the prime minister refusing to go and ultimately causing a policy stalemate."
Newly appointed finance minister Nadhim Zahawi said in a letter"you know in your heart what the right thing to do is, and go now.""If Boris Johnson resigns as UK Prime Minister later today, as the media is now reporting, then it's possible that fiscal policy may be a bit looser and monetary policy may have to be a bit tighter," Paul Dales, chief U.K. economist at Capital Economics, said in a note.
The revelation that Johnson knew of the misconduct allegations prompted the resignations on Tuesday of Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Secretary Sajid Javid.
