Pound surged while market await for Friday talks.
Pound sterling which acting as one of the major trading currency in FX market managed to extend its rally while hitting its highest level in three months early morning today and yet market participants are still focus on the upcoming negotiation between UK and EU. Yesterday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen revealed that ‘coming days will be decisive for Brexit negotiation as crucial differences between both parties remains. Moreover, Ursula von der Leyen also reiterated that she cannot promise if any deal could be sealed by this week, as the disagreement including the level of playing field, the enforcement of any agreement and fisheries issue are still threatening the consensus between two sides. On the other hand, EU Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier has warned the UK negotiators that EU will pull out from the Brexit negotiations in London this weekend if without a major shift by UK within these two days. Such a warning statement from EU has lifted up the market pessimism against a Brexit deal, while urging the market participants to speculate the possibility of Hard-Brexit. As of now, the pair of GBP/USD ticked up by 0.05% to 1.3388.
