Morning Report: 07.00 London

The dollar index is higher this morning, but the Greenback remains near 14-week lows.

After the conclusion of Mexico negotiations, attention now turns to Canada, with the Canadian dollar making gains this morning on the back of a four-day run. The EUR/CAD is reversing recent gains, while the GBP/CAD is testing support around 1.6600.

After days of gains, the AUD/USD is once again heading back towards the lows. The AUD/JPY is following the same path.

The euro is behind the pace this morning on reports that a hard Brexit will punish the EU as well as the pound with Central banks ready to act. The EUR/CHF is on the back foot, with the EUR/GBP pulling back for the first time in five sessions. The EUR/USD is also pausing its recent mini run around 1.1700. The EUR/JPY is also pausing mid August rally, failing in its test of 130.00.

The pound is no bed of roses, with both the GBP/USD and GBP/JPY on the back foot.

Overall, yen pairs are mixed with the USD/JPY unchanged so far today.
