Rishi Sunak is on his way to becoming the new prime minister of Britain.

The financial markets respond favourably to the prospect that the former Minister of Finance will become Prime Minister.

Today's financial markets have already reacted favourably to the prospect of Rishi Sunak becoming the next prime minister of the United Kingdom, driving up the value of the pound sterling.The former finance minister under Boris Johnson is clearly ahead of Penny Mordaunt, who is now his lone opponent, in the race to become the next leader of the Conservative Party. Mordaunt competes against time to secure the required endorsements to stay in the running. The outcome will be made public at 2:00 PM British time.

"With supporters from the Conservative party, he has a very good chance of winning the election, and he may even go back to Downing Street on Friday. But during the past several days, I have regrettably come to the conclusion that it would not be the right course of action. Without parliamentary group unity, you cannot govern effectively ""Johnson" stated. Sunak's courteous parting compliment to his adversary was: "I genuinely hope he will continue to contribute to public life, both at home and abroad, even though he has decided not to run for prime minister again."

Liz Truss had defeated the now-favourite back in September. Sunak repeatedly warned during the primaries that his rival's economic strategy would have disastrous effects, and those dire predictions have come true, even with implications that are beyond comprehension. The party base, who favoured Truss, was not persuaded by Sunak at that point. He might emerge victorious on this occasion with a mandate that nobody has given him. The UK would have a prime minister who has not cast a ballot and has not even been chosen by his own party's members. A politician whose credibility is disputed by the opposition and some of his own supporters, who hasn't revealed his government's initiative and hasn't even given press interviews. "Rishi Sunak is set to get the country's reins from the "tories" without having made any declarations regarding his plan of action. No one cast a vote for this "stated Angela Rayner, the number two member of the Labour Party.

The financial markets, which were anxiously anticipating Johnson's comeback, should feel more secure in the wake of Sunak's victory. The issues, however, are significant and challenging to resolve. They include a dire state of the public finances, a price spiral that has put millions of families in a precarious position, and ongoing internal conflicts among conservatives, not to mention the diminished prestige of the United Kingdom abroad.
