EUR/USD – 1.1100 Stays In Eyes
A day before, the single currency Euro soared a little during the early hours of Monday but proceeded to see much resistance just above. The 1.11 level is presently offering a bit of hurdle possibility, and if that’s going to be the case, forex traders are likely to look for selling trades in the Euro again.
The dollar traded slightly soft due to the probability of the third rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve this month. Besides the downward movement of the EUR/USD, the likelihood of a slowdown hitting the German Economy is yet likey, adding bearish pressure to the single currency Euro.

GBP/USD - Sideways Range In Play

The U.K. Parliament was set to schedule to vote later on Monday on whether or not to keep a general election ere Christmas to try to confirm the withdrawal deal accepted by the EU with Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The British Pound could trade lower versus the US Dollar within the subsequent trading session. A potential downside spot is the 1.2760 level. Additionally, I perceive that some volatility could happen in the market on the back of the UK Parliament Brexit Vote, which later got rejected.
Administrators in the U.K. have denied the government’s offer to hold a general election on December 12. Following the laws, two-thirds of Parliament (434 MPs) were required to support the motion for it to qualify. But the numbers dropped short as opponent lawmakers refused the opportunity to take on Prime Minister Boris Johnson at the ballot box.
