The Dollar is at near net unchanged levels heading into the New York interbank open, while the Pound is up over 0.5% versus the U.S. currency and the Australian dollar down by almost 0.5%. The UK’s currency was lifted after EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Barnier said that the EU is “open to discussing other backstops” while the Aussie underperformed due to Australia’s exposure to China, which looks at imminent risk of being hit by U.S. tariff hikes on another $200 bln worth of its exports.
