Although, the certainty on trade deal slightly declined during the Asian trading hours mainly due to tension increased regarding delaying the signing on the agreement by the Trump Administration.

The British pound slid 0.3% to $1.2820. The Bank of England kept its benchmark rate unchanged at 0.75% as expected. However, two officials supported rates cut, the first votes for looser policy since 2016. At the same time, Governor Mark Carney, who voted to keep prices unchanged, admitted that risks to the U.K. economy are skewed toward the downside.
The eyes will keep on the trade progress and greenback progress, whereas the United Kingdom news takes aback seat, with increasing dovish BOE expectations. Moreover, of note remains the UK Preliminary Michigan Consumer Sentiment data, which is scheduled to release at 1500 GMT, for recent greenback trades.
The outlook as per the hourly chart will turn bullish if the falling trendline resistance at 1.2862 is violated. However, that seems doubtful, because the US treasury yields are increasing. Notably, the ten-year yield has risen from 1.80% to 1.97% - the highest level since August 1.
