Abstract:On Tuesday, upbeat news about UK-EU talks boosted the pound to the 1.300 barrier.
WikiFX News (21 Oct.) - On Tuesday, upbeat news about UK-EU talks boosted the pound to the 1.300 barrier. Nonetheless, the pound may find wild swings ahead as various uncertainties continue to obscure the outlook of the talks.
The UK is negotiating with the EU in a constructive atmosphere, which encourages investors to expect a final agreement. On the other hand, the country appeals to industrial and commercial circles to prepare for a no-deal Brexit. Business leaders, however, responded that there was no space for such preparation.
Moving forward, now that the pound has been hampered by the news that the US coronavirus stimulus bill may not pass and the pandemic is raging in the EU, huge downside risks are awaiting GBP/USD unless the UK and the EU reach an agreement.
With the key price lying in 1.3000, the pound may remain in wide swings amid fluctuations in investor mood that arise from the unclear UK-EU talks.
