The British pound is suffering heavy losses against its major rivals on Monday as revived fears of no deal Brexit force investors to move away from the currency. The EUR/GBP pair gained more than 1% today and touched its highest level since early January at 0.9085 and was last seen trading at 0.9078.

UK heading to a hard Brexit?

Following Cabinet Officer Minister Gove's comments about no-deal being a real prospect over the weekend, British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said that they were 'turbo-charging' no deal Brexit preparations. Furthermore, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's spokeswoman told reporters that if the EU continues to refuse to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement to negotiation they must assume that there will be a no deal. "The government’s central focus is preparing for that," the spokeswoman added.

Reflecting the broad GBP weakness, the GBP/USD pair slumped to its lowest level since April 2017 at 1.2243 and is now down 1% on the day at 1.2260.

EUR/USD recovers further from one-month low set on Friday, eyes mid-1.1800s on weaker USD

The EUR/USD pair is seen building on Friday's late recovery from the 1.1750-1.1740 region, or a nearly one-month trough, and gaining some follow-through positive traction at the start of a new week. The momentum lifts spot prices to the 1.1835 area during the Asian session and is sponsored by a broadly weaker US Dollar.

GBP/USD gathers strength above 1.3500 amid tariff confusion

The GBP/USD pair gains traction to around 1.3520 during the early Asian session on Monday. The US Dollar faces some selling pressure against the Cable as tariff uncertainty lingers. Traders will take more cues from the US Producer Price Index report for January, which will be published later on Friday.

Gold eyes a daily closing above key 61.8% Fibo resistance

Liberation day take two, the tariff machine just changed gears

Let me caveat this from the outset. What we are watching is first-order mechanics, not the grand macro endgame. This is the market’s immediate reflex to a 15% Trump tariff levy dressed up as judicial drama. The Supreme Court blocked Trump tarrif hammer. The White House came back with a scalpel.
