The Euro (EUR) is weak, down 1.5% vs. the US Dollar (USD) and seeing its largest one day decline since early November, around the time of the US election, Scotiabank's Chief FX Strategist Shaun Osborne notes.
The EUR/GBP cross extends the decline to around 0.8435 during the early European session on Monday. The Pound Sterling (GBP) strengthens against the Euro (EUR) due to positive developments surrounding the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK) trade agreement last week.
The Australian Dollar (AUD) remains under pressure as global trade uncertainties persist, particularly surrounding the US-China trade talks.
