The pound has its own risks ahead of another round of post-Brexit trade talks next week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/currencylive.com\/exchange-rate\/gbp-to-aud-exchange-rate-today\/\">GBP\/AUD<\/a> was up by 16 pips (+0.10%) to 1.8555 as of 4pm GMT.<\/p>\n<p>The currency pair chopped in a sideways range with 1.855 as a midpoint, hovering close to 7-month lows.

In addition the UK\u2019s chief negotiator David Frost said the EU will need to \u2018evolve its position to reach an agreement\u2019 with the UK. Neither side is budging before another round of talks next week, which look set up for another stalemate.<\/p>\n<p>Brexit troubles meant the pound was unable to really capitalise on a bright outlook that saw stock market gains in Europe and the price of gold, a preferred haven fall below $1700 per oz.<\/p>\n<h2>AUD: \u2018Responses\u2019 to China over Hong Kong<\/h2>\n<p>Rising US-China tensions started to reverberate in currency markets on Wednesday. Late on Tuesday US President Trump said he would announce a \u2018very interesting\u2019 response to China\u2019s actions in Hong Kong. The European Union was also reportedly weighing a \u2018robust\u2019 message to China over Hong Kong issue. A strongly-worded letter probably isn\u2019t going to do the trick so one would assume there will be some economic action directed against China.<\/p>\n<p>While the Australian dollar pulled back, all the attention in markets was on the 3000 price level and the 200-day moving average in the S&amp;P 500, the US shares benchmark.
