What happened
Market reports indicate that UK finance minister Healey will state to EU counterparts on Friday that London is willing to open negotiations.
The stated aim of those talks would be to reach a "relationship reset" agreement.
The report was carried as a market news flash by Sina Finance.
Why it matters
The signal, if accurate, points to a possible thaw in UK-EU relations, since it comes from a senior UK finance official addressing EU counterparts directly.
Because the item is a market report rather than a confirmed official announcement, its practical weight depends on how EU counterparts respond and whether formal talks follow.
