EURGBP Rallies on Uncertain Brexit Prospect<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The pound sterling\u2019s latest rebound could be short-lived for the lack of new development on the Brexit front. Unexpected cancellation of last Friday\u2019s talks could only put fresh strain on an already tight schedule.<\/p>\n

As both parties meet up this week, the prospect of resolving their differences seem to be rather dim. Traders can expect short-term volatility at the UK\u2019s GDP release. Unless there is substance to the trade deal with the EU, Sterling is likely to underperform in the coming days.<\/p>\n

The euro is supported by the trend line above\u00a00.8950<\/strong>\u00a0and is positioned to rally to the previous high above\u00a00.9400<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

AUDJPY Rises Amid Bullish Commodity Prices<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Regardless of news of a potential second wave of COVID, the Australian dollar\u2019s V-shaped recovery is a testimony that there is firm optimism that the world\u2019s economy might have bottomed out.<\/p>\n

Rising prices of iron ore and copper, supported by returning Chinese demand, have contributed to a recovery in Australia\u2019s trade balance. The combination of reopening and bullish commodity markets offer the Aussie a lead against less growth-sensitive currencies.<\/p>

The pair has found solid buying interests along the 30-day moving average above\u00a072.50<\/strong>. The recent top of\u00a076.60<\/strong>\u00a0is the next target in sight.<\/p>\n

USDCHF Drifts Lower on Virus Surge<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Record surge in new infections in the US is posing a serious challenge to the much-anticipated economic recovery. So much so, that the latest uptick in employment was received with mild enthusiasm. 4.8 million new jobs were added against a consensus of 3 million, though the back-pedaling on reopening across several states dampened hopes of a definite U-turn.<\/p>\n

As a result, the greenback is likely to stay muted against its safer Swiss counterpart as investors stick with a cautious mind. The US dollar is heading toward\u00a00.9250<\/strong>. Any meaningful rebound will need to lift the key resistance of\u00a00.9650\u00a0<\/strong>first.<\/p>\n

CADJPY Inches Higher on Improved Sentiment<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Canadian dollar is trying to catch its breath after a stellar recovery against the Japanese yen back in June. Overall, market sentiment has improved since, and that could argue for a continuation of the bullish reversal.<\/p>\n

Prices of oil, Canada\u2019s biggest export, have been grinding higher and offer a strong positive correlation to the movement. Should Friday\u2019s jobs data paint a less-than-gloomy economic picture, as last week\u2019s GDP number did, the Loonie may see more of the upside in the coming days.<\/p>\n

As long as the pair stays above\u00a078.00<\/strong>\u00a0the bullish bias stays.\u00a081.80<\/strong>\u00a0is a key resistance to lift for an extended reversal.<\/p>\n
