According to Bloomberg, the news outlet reported that the draft text explicitly mentioned both UK and EU will be committed to \u201cdeep\u201d customs operation and build on \u201csingle custom territory\u201d. Likewise, the EU is to recognize UK\u2019s independent trade policy and the transition period can be extended for up to one or two years. The draft has dialed down market anxiousness towards possibility for a \u201chard\u201d Brexit as some of the clauses mentioned are skewed towards a \u201csoft\u201d Brexit approach. According to European Council President Donald Tusk, the draft has reached the consensus of all negotiators and it will now subject to the endorsement of all EU leaders. Otherwise, greenback failed to gain any substantial support during North American session as the US market were closed for Thanksgiving holiday. We would expect light trading ahead as the US market is expected to close earlier today as well.
