Brexit deadlock remains pressured on pound.

Pound sterling which acts as one of the major currency dipped in early trading session today as Post-Brexit negotiation remains stalled as there are gaps in Brexit talks between UK and EU. Since UK voted to exit from EU bloc, both parties had undergone uncountable times of talk on all aspects of their future ties. Yet, there is no any official trade deal been achieved by UK and EU as the fishing conflict is remains as the major issue that need to be solved in the current condition. In details, UK and EU are now struggling on the talks with regards to the future fish industry as UK insists to block EU fishermen from its water. Prior to now, Britain reacted furiously and criticized Brussels as they demanded UK to allow their accesses of boat to UK water after transition period ended, which is simply unacceptable by UK government. Nevertheless, investors are now eyeing on the further trade talk between these two parties, which have been scheduled to be held all the way from time to time until the beginning of October. During Asian early trading session, the pair of GBP/USD inched up 0.07% to 1.3095.

 

In the commodities market, crude oil price depreciated by 0.47% to $40.00 per barrel as of writing amid heightening of market worries over prospect of oil demand.

Besides, gold price up 0.35% to $1982.95 a troy ounce as increasing in virus’s cases spurred up the market’s risk avoidance behaviour.
