Sterling slides as Brexit turns ugly.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

US dollar regains its bullish momentum against other major currencies following a large selloff in pound sterling amid Brexit issues and internal political stirrup. According to The Telegraph, a proposed amendment from a group of Brexiters within UK Prime Minister Theresa May\u2019s party could effectively make the EU\u2019s Irish border backstop proposal illegal. In addition to that, it was alleged that Northern Irish Democratic Unionist Party whom works hand-in-hand to form May\u2019s minority government gave their support towards the amendment. The report evoked higher risk aversion in the financial market as Theresa May will face leadership challenge as her attempts to unlock Brexit talks by extending the transition period beyond the end date received strong rejection from members within her party. As for now, investors will place their attention upon her party\u2019s committee meeting which is scheduled to be held today to discuss Brexit negotiations and terms for further signals. As of writing, dollar index ticks up 0.02% to 95.72 while GBP\/USD was down 0.05% to 1.2963.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for commodities market, crude oil price depreciates by 0.04% to $69.49 per barrel. The commodity price was traded in a sideways fashion as investors weigh the imminent outcome of Iran sanction and increasing supply from the United States. Otherwise, gold price notched up 0.05% to $1,222.70 a troy ounce following higher political and economic uncertainty that arises in the UK due to Brexit issues.<\/p>\n
