The British pound<\/a> is lower against the US dollar<\/a> on Monday afternoon after a spokesman for UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson renewed Brexit fears when he said the UK is \u201cnot seeking anything special from the EU in trade talks\u201d. Meanwhile the US dollar was trading with a softer tone thanks in part to a jump in the yuan in reaction to new stimulus measures in China.<\/p>\n

GBP\/USD<\/a> was lower by 42 pips (-0.33%) at 1.3004 with a daily price range of 1.30 to 1.305 as of 2.30pm GMT. GBP\/USD<\/a> turned lower after a re-test of Friday\u2019s high at 1.305 but held the big 1.30 psychological level. Today\u2019s declines detract slightly from the +1.19% gains made last week.<\/p>\n

The British pound<\/h2>\n

The spokesman for Boris Johnson went on to say, \u201cWe want something similar to other deals they have struck.\u201d Recent statements from the UK government have sounded fearless about the UK economy diverging from the European Union. In a complete departure from previous statements that suggested a desire for no trade barriers, the Johnson government is now ready to accept some so-called \u201ctrade friction\u201d in order to achieve sovereignty for the UK.<\/p>\n

The pullback in Sterling follows last week\u2019s surprise announcement Rishi Sunak will take over as Chancellor of the Exchequer at the behest of PM Boris Johnson and his advisors.\u00a0 The news is still being processed by investors, some of whom are concerned that No.10 Downing Street is making a power grab to control the Treasury.<\/p>\n

US dollar<\/h2>\n

The dollar was higher against Sterling but against other currencies it was losing some steam on Monday. Although fears about the coronavirus COVID-19 are starting to pick up again because of the rising number of cases, that is being combatted by increasingly assertive steps by Chinese authorities to thwart the economic damage.<\/p>\n

With lower economic risk, there is less need for a haven like the dollar. On Monday, the government in Beijing announced new fiscal stimulus including tax cuts and subsides while the People\u2019s Bank of China cut interest rates again.<\/p>\n
