Key quotes
"Although the single currency had a strong start to November rallying from 1.13 to 1.15, the rally was quickly reversed as EUR/USD plunged to the lowest level since June 2017. A break below the previous August/October lows is a bearish signal for EUR/USD with the next key technical downside level to watch at around 1.1115."
"The recent increase in GBP net short positions was validated by the sharp fall in GBP/USD from 1.3175 to 1.2828. Sterling plunged as market optimism that the UK could reach a Brexit deal with the EU in November evaporated quickly. PM May faces the enormous challenge of reconciling differences between pro-EU members of her cabinet and hard Brexiteers."
"The Sunday Times reported that four pro-EU ministers may follow Transport Minister Jo Johnson who resigned last week expressing his discontent over Brexit talks. May will need to find sufficient support for a deal with the EU, which hasn’t been yet fully agreed, in parliament."
