GBP\/AUD inched up 0.02%, to 1.8764 as of 5:30 AM UTC. The pair is taking some rest after surging more than 1% since last Thursday. The biggest gain came yesterday, when the price finally broke the resistance line of a long-lasting bearish channel, as we previously anticipated<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Australian dollar started to weaken on Friday after US President Donald Trump said he wouldn\u2019t roll back tariffs on Chinese good, though he awaited a trade deal with Xi Jinping.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, the UK economy narrowly avoided a recession in the third quarter, adding 0.3%. However, the Bank of England and analysts still expected a higher reading.<\/p>\n

The British pound is currently driven by the latest Brexit developments as well.<\/p>\n

Farage Will Not Contest Conservative Party\u2019s Seats<\/h2>\n

Earlier today, Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage said he and his party wouldn\u2019t contest any seats currently held by the ruling Conservative Party at the national election scheduled for December 12. Thus, Farage won\u2019t field any candidates in seats now held by Prime Minister Boris Johnson\u2019s party.<\/p>\n

The move comes after prolonged fears from Brexit supporters, who were concerned about the possibility of putting up candidates in every seat, which could divide the pro-Brexit vote and consolidate the opposition.<\/p>\n

Farage\u2019s decision boosts the chances of Conservatives to obtain a majority at the general election and eventually implement the Brexit agreement secured in October with European leaders. Farage said<\/a> at a party meeting in Hartlepool, northeast of England:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe now have a Leave alliance, albeit we’ve done it unilaterally. This prevents a second referendum from happening and that to me today is the single most important thing in our country.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He added that the Brexit Party would focus entirely on seat currently held by the Labour party and other, smaller fractions. Farage argues that by winning the seats, his party would help \u201ckeep Boris Johnson to his promises” in the UK Parliament.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Boris Johnson welcomed Farage\u2019s decision, saying that a hung parliament was the main threat to Brexit. The PM stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad that there is a recognition that there is only one way to get Brexit done and that is to vote for the Conservatives.\u201d<\/p>\n
