FX MARKET REPORT 10.08.2020
GBP/USD picks up the bids near 1.3070, up 0.16% on a day, while heading into the London open on Monday. The Cable registered the biggest losses since June 24 on Friday. EUR/USD is trading around 1.1765, after Friday’s 0.78% decline, the biggest single-day drop in over four months. Monday’s 4-hour chart is painting a mixed picture with critical support looming at 1.17. It’s shaping up to be another rough day for Turkish markets. The lira, which sank to a record low last week as the central bank abandoned some of the policies that had underpinned it for much of this year, extended its declines Monday. The dollar edged higher in early European trade Monday, following Friday’s better-than-expected employment report. However, gains are likely to be short-lived as doubts remain about the U.S. economic recovery.
