The British pound<\/a> is flat against the Australian dollar<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n

Sterling was only able to muster up small gains in retort to the big upside move in the Aussie yesterday that carried the pound-Aussie dollar exchange range to a fresh 3-month low.<\/p>\n

The exchange rate has stabilised near 0.90 with forex markets mostly having a quiet day despite\u00a0 monthly US unemployment rising by far the most on record.<\/p>\n

GBP\/AUD was up by 5 pips (+0.03%) to 1.9033 as of 3pm GMT.<\/p>\n

The currency pair had tanked -1.27% on Thursday, leaving a weekly loss of -2.26%.<\/p>\n

GBP: Markets brush off US jobs loss<\/h2>\n

The pound was mainly trading in sync with a more \u2018risk on\u2019 market which has seen the US Nasdaq Composite index turn positive for the year.<\/p>\n

The mood was undaunted by a record 20.2 million Americans losing their jobs in April, down slightly from the 22 million forecast. US President Trump in a TV interview on Friday reflected a view held by many investors, saying that the jobs \u201cwill come back\u201d because the economy is \u201cartificially closed\u201d.<\/p>\n

It is only once economies have been sufficiently reopened after being closed in such an unprecedented way, that the data becomes more helpful in judging the enduring harm leftover by the lockdowns.<\/p>\n

The UK published the agenda for EU trade talks next week. They will go from 1400 GMT on Monday through to 1115 GMT on Friday.<\/p>\n

AUD: US-China relations thaw<\/h2>\n

Some signs that US President Donald Trump\u2019s threat of more tariffs on China won\u2019t come to fruition has kept the Aussie close to 3-month highs on Friday. It is important for Australia that the US and China keep any quarrel over the coronavirus origin separate from their trade deal.<\/p>\n

Trump had a softer tone on Friday saying he does not believe China released the coronavirus on purpose and will decide soon on World Health organisation funding.<\/p>\n

US and Chinese top officials said they would \u2018meet their obligations\u2019 under the phase one trade deal signed in January in a phone call on Thursday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
