The dollar index was quoted down by 0.02% to 95.37 while pairing of GBP\/USD ticked up 0.01% to 1.3022. Sterling received bullish traction overnight as investors bet Britain and the European Union are moving closer to an agreed position on a deal for Brexit before Brexit cut-off date early next year. In addition, UK Prime Minister Theresa May was reportedly being backed by Ireland over her plan for an all-UK customs union with the European Union if no other solution to the Irish border issue was found. The border between Ireland and Northern Ireland became the main issue over how trade and free movement of goods will work between the north and south after Brexit. However, losses on the greenback remains limited following better-than-expected Initial Jobless Claims and Factory Orders reading released on yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the commodities market, crude oil price recovered some losses this morning by 0.15% to $75.00 per barrel.
