12 November 2020 Afternoon Session Analysis
Pound fell amid expectation of Brexit talks miss deadline.
During late Asian session, the pound sterling which traded against the dollar and other currency pairs have fell following expectation of the EU and UK is likely to miss next week deadline and to be pushed back even longer. Following latest development, a report reveals that the EU ambassadors will not be updated on the talks at the regular meeting and will be delayed until their meeting on November 18. EU sources stated they now expected negotiators to come up with an agreed text in the middle of next week, unless talks collapse or there is a breakthrough earlier. The situation have signalled that the ongoing stalemate between UK and EU in Brexit agreement and the chance of Brexit deal remains low, thus dragging down the value of pound sterling. At the time of writing, GBP/USD slips 0.08% to 1.3275.
In the commodities market, crude oil price remains steady and edge higher 1.00% to $42.05 per barrel as of writing following rising hopes of OPEC to hold back supply. Algeria’s energy minister recently stated OPEC+ – grouping the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other suppliers including Russia – could extend current production cuts of 7.7 million barrels per day (bpd) into 2021, or deepen them further if needed. On the other hand, gold price remains weak and edge lower 0.06% to $1868.95 a troy ounce at the time of writing following dollar strength.
