UK Traders Wait Brexit Deal News<\/strong><\/h2>\n

GBPUSD has been back under pressure again today.\u00a0Boris Johnson will today present an amended Brexit deal to the EU in the hopes of securing approval for a deal ahead of the October 19th<\/sup>\u00a0Benn Bill deadline.<\/strong>\u00a0For now, it seems that the market is skeptical as to the likelihood of Johnson\u2019s deal being approved. GBPUSD trades 1.2243 last, remaining back below the 1.2382 level.<\/p>\n

Risk Down on Global Growth Fears<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Crude Down Despite Inventories Draw<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Oil prices remain lower today ahead of the headline weekly-EIA report due later today.\u00a0The downside is likely linked to the weakness in US manufacturing given that the API yesterday reported a 6 million barrel drawdown in US crude stores.<\/strong>\u00a0If the EIA confirms the data later, this could help stem the decline. Though for now, focus is on slower global conditions. Crude trades 53.74 last.<\/p>\n

CAD Capped Again<\/strong><\/h2>\n

USDCAD has rallied firmly off the 1.3207 level tested yesterday.\u00a0The sharply lower US manufacturing reading put a dent in USD though weaker oil prices have weighed CAD down,<\/strong>\u00a0allowing for a recovery in USDCAD. Trade balance data due on Friday will be the key domestic data release of the week for CAD traders.<\/p>\n

Fresh 2019 Lows in Aussie<\/strong><\/h2>\n

AUDUSD traded down to fresh 2019 lows today as the post-RBA sell-off continues.<\/strong>\u00a0The RBA cut rates this week<\/a>\u00a0to fresh record lows of just .75% and left the door open for further cuts given the ongoing damage being suffered as a result of the US\/China trade war as well as persistent domestic headwinds from low wages and high household debt. AUDUSD trades .6677 last, sitting right on 2019 lows as of writing.<\/p>\n
