On Monday, the major American currency went down versus its counterparts, suppressed by a stronger UK pound in the wake of upbeat comments on a Brexit deal from the European bloc’s key negotiator Michel Barnier.
Gauging the greenback’s purchasing power versus a pack of its primary rivals the USD index inched down by 0.34% being worth 95.06.
The UK currency reached a five-week maximum versus the US dollar because Barnier stoked investor expectations of Great Britian clinching a Brexit deal, right after he told that it was quite real to achieve a deal within a time frame of 6-8 weeks.
It comes in the face of reports that the European Union is ready to provide Barnier with a mandate to offer concessions for the purpose of striking a deal with the United Kingdom. Eventually, Great Britain is slated to escape from the European Union even in less than seven months. To be exact, it should take place on March 29, next year.
