Risk aversion eased notably further last week as some of the imminent risks receded. New Italian government was sworn in as 5-Star Movement and bitter rival Democratic Party agreement to form a coalition. UK lawmakers passed a bill to force Prime Minister Boris Johnson to delay Brexit if no deal could be made. Johnson's push for general election in October also failed so far. Most importantly, US and China appear to be back on negotiation table and the teams are working towards a face-to-face meeting in October. Over the week, commodity currencies ended as the strongest ones, as led by New Zealand, Australian and then Canadian Dollars. Yen was the weakest with the turn on sentiments, followed by Dollar and then Swiss Franc. Euro and Sterling are mixed. Euro will face the risk of ECB monetary easing this week. Pound will continue to pay attention to UK political and Brexit developments. |
