Pound sterling weakened amid Brexit uncertainty.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The pound sterling which traded against the dollar and other currency pairs remains weak and edge lower during late Asian session following signs of little progress on trade talk between U.K and E.U. According to recent reports, Ireland\u2019s Foreign Minister Simon Coveney have expressed his concerns that the U.K. and EU are likely headed for a collision on Brexit talks unless significant progress is made on negotiations. As U.K have been persistent that it will not seek negotiation extension beyond the transition period, concern regarding U.K leaving the EU without any potential trade deal continue to increase which could heighten the economic hardships for the U.K. Thus, the uncertainty continues to weigh on the pound sterling. Investors will continue to focus on the development where both countries still have until the end of June to agree on extend trade talks beyond the end of the year. At the time of writing, GBP\/USD slips 0.04% to 1.2429.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the commodities market, crude oil price gave up some of its gains and retreats 1.68% to $24.43 per barrel as of writing following oversupply worries persist. Market back to cautious mode as investors were warned that global storage could be filled in weeks with the road to recovery long and uncertain. On the other hand, gold price slips 0.21% to $1702.41 a troy ounce at the time of writing following dollar strength.<\/p>\n
