Reading [**this article,**][1] the second paragraph says, >**The pound’s instant reaction was to strengthen versus the dollar, a somewhat surprising response *to would* will be a fevered six weeks of opinion polls and uncertainty (assuming there are no last-minute changes of heart from Labour lawmakers).** The fracturing of British politics along Brexiter and non-Brexiter lines makes elections fiendishly difficult to predict and voter polling hard to trust. But it’s the overriding expectation of currency traders that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s championing of Brexit will win him a majority. I think the bold-Italic word is defined by the Merriam Unabridged, >would (noun) plural -s : a conditional or undecided wish or intention The first question is, is this my understanding correct?. The second question is, what could the bold sentence mean? The GBP is "reading" the result of the 6 weeks polls and uncertainty in the future?? (Here the auxiliary "will" is making me confused.)
