Morning Report: 07.00 London

This morning, the Australian dollar is on the back foot after Aussie GDP came in below estimates this morning. The AUD/JPY is now down 0.75%, with the AUD/USD down 0.33%.

The dollar pairs generally have a positive bias as the dollar index slips back. The NZD/USD is outperforming, breaking away from the pressures on the AUD/USD.

The pound is trading higher in line with other pairs this morning, but has some way to go to recover from yesterday’s losses on the back of poor services PMI data.

The yen pairs are negative this morning, with the GBP/JPY now down for three days in a row on Brexit negotiation failures.
