Sterling trades generally soft today as markets are awaiting Brexit developments. Scotland's Outer House of the Court of Session ruled against the request to force Prime Minister Boris Johnson to seek Brexit delay. But that was only because "government's clearly stated position before the court, there is no need for coercive orders against it or against the Prime Minister to be pronounced." So, reactions to the ruling are rather muted. For today, Pound is just the third weakest so far, following Australian and New Zealand Dollar. On the other hand, Euro and Swiss Franc are the strongest ones, together with Canadian Dollar. Technically, more downside is expected in Sterling against Yen and Euro, despite some loss of downside momentum. Selling in the Pound could accelerate if GBP/USD breaks through 1.2204 to resume the decline from 1.2382. AUD/USD lost more ground today and could be heading back to 0.6670 low. Similarly, EUR/AUD is also heading back to 1.6368 temporary top. In Europe, currently, FTSE is up 0.24%. DAX is up 0.12%. CAC is up 0.18%. German 10-year yield is up 0.003 at -0.582. Earlier in Asia, Nikkei dropped -0.16%. Singapore Strait Times rose 0.69%. Japan 10-year JGB yield dropped -0.0141 to -0.226. |
