Sterling Slows When BoE Saunders Gives Rate Disclosure Indicators

Pound Sterling is still trading cautiously in the market following the Brexit issue which has not yet been able to provide a clear picture of reaching a deal.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson presented his Brexit proposal to the public yesterday and is now relying on the European Union (EU) for a decision on whether to reject or accept it for further negotiations.
The issue of Irish border control remains a major obstacle to the agreement signed by both parties. PM Johnson reiterated that the last alternative would be to leave the EU on October 31, even without a trade agreement.
But if PM Johnson's Brexit proposal is adopted by the EU, GBP's trade will revive in the financial market.
Considering the price movement on the GBP / JPY currency pair, the price continued to decline with the decline in the GBP's trading value as opposed to the increase in the Yen's trading in a risky market environment.
Prices are slowing down on the day today testing support levels at 131,600 and will continue to decline lower if the Brexit negotiations break down.
The initial downside is likely to reach 130,800 before continuing to the lower.
On the other hand, if the price recovers and exceeds the 132.400 level as well as the current trendline, the price is expected to reach the support zone resistance level (SBR) at 133.350. The next hike will test the focus level at 134,400.

Some weak economic data last week raised concerns about the recession, but it began to decline as the NFP's weekend job report saw moderate growth and the unemployment rate fall to 3.5% to nearly 50 years.
USD currencies rebounded as soon as job reports were released, however, as the week opened this USD currency weakened by market sentiment earlier this week.
However, it did not change market expectations that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) would lower interest rates at its next meeting on October 29-30 to stimulate the economy.
The sentiment against the dollar has been weakened by uncertain US prospects, one of which is due to President Donald Trump's probe when a second 'whistle-blower' has come out with the fact that he knows more about Trump's allegations. This can trigger some risks in the weekly opening.
In addition, China's recent trade talks aimed at narrowing the scope of trade talks and signals indicating a reluctance to enter into agreements with the US have led to a decline in the dollar and a slight increase in the yen trade.
The US-China trade talks will resume this Thursday and Friday which include a meeting between Deputy Prime Minister Liu He and US Trade Representative Robert Lightzier and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in Washington.
Meanwhile in Britain, Brexit has affected the pound to remain weak against the USD, with European Union (EU) President Donald Tusk rejecting a proposal by UK PM Boris Johnson saying it is unacceptable. Ireland also rejected the agreement because it involved the island's borders.
