The EUR/USD pair flirted with 1.1900 but remained below the level. GBP/USD hovers around 1.2860, roughly 100 pips higher after last week’s collapse.
The Japanese yen appreciated as well as gold, in spite of flat government bond yields and higher equities.
Gold prices are up for the day, but gains are modest. Crude oil prices, on the other hand, remained depressed as the OPEC cut its forecast for oil demand this year and ht next, warning that risks remain “elevated and skewed to the downside” for the first half of 2021.
The UK Parliament discussed the Internal Market Bill, and UK PM Johnson defended it, saying that it will give the kingdom a “more real possibility” of a trade deal with the EU.
