The cable nosedived to a 2-week low of $1.3128 on Brexit woes

Fundamental News

EUR/USD
The single currency recovered from a low of $1.1796 to $1.1820 this morning, despite the mixed German Trade and Current Account data, amid dovish European Central Bank expectations this week.

GBP/USD
The Sterling nosedived to $1.3128 as Brexit impasse revived after the European Union warned the U.K of a no-trade deal if it tried to tinker with the divorce treaty.

USD/JPY
The Japanese Yen weakened to 106.22 per dollar as Japan's economy shrank an annualised 28.1% in April-June, worse than the initial estimate of a 27.8% contraction.

AUD/USD
The Aussie surged to $0.7305, shrugging-off mixed Australian NAB survey and U.S.- China tussle.

USD/ZAR
The rand plunged to 16.69 against the greenback as Gross Domestic Product data is wildly expected to show a massive contraction during the country's strict coronavirus lockdown.

USD/MUR
The pair lingered at 40.20(selling) on the Mauritian market.
