UPDATE 3-British pound down half a percent on pre-election flows
The British pound stepped back from a near nine-month high on Thursday as investors booked profits from a recent rally in case of a surprise UK election outcome later in the day. Voters were heading to the polls in an election that will pave the way for Brexit under Prime Minister Boris Johnson or propel Britain towards another referendum that could ultimately reverse the decision to leave the European Union. Investors in the cash market have bet on a Conservative Party majority, bolstering the pound in recent days.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson looks on course to win Thursday's election though the race has tightened markedly and he can no longer be sure of a majority, according to opinion polls published on the eve of the vote. The main opposition Labour Party promises a new referendum on Brexit as well as a renationalisation of utilities and railroads in its most left-wing platform for decades. YouGov, which accurately predicted the outcome of the last election two years ago with an elaborate survey that estimates the outcome in individual constituencies, cut its forecast for Johnson's likely parliamentary majority by more than half to 28 seats.

It's bloodbath in the FTSE midcap index mainly led by stocks exposed to the domestic economy and all thanks to yesterday's opinion polls which planted worries of a hung parliament among investors.
