Should Carney stay it would likely give a boost to sterling, given that he is widely regarded as a serious, credible, calm hand at the tiller of British monetary policy. He has been referred to as "the only adult in the room" when it comes to the government's economic talks.
Sterling has dropped a little over 6% against the dollar during October, making it the second worst month for the currency since the Brexit vote. Sterling fell 8.09% during June, the month in which Britain voted to leave the EU.
Sterling's fall in October has been largely driven by political uncertainty about what Brexit will actually look like, following the first suggestions that we are heading for a hard Brexit - leaving the EU without any formal trade deal with the bloc.
