(Bloomberg) FX Signals FxPremiere.com — Australia’s dollar broke through 75 U.S. cents to its highest level in two-and-a-half years as investors ramped up bets on a successful vaccine roll-out and improving global growth.

The Aussie rose as much as 0.8% to 75.04 U.S. cents, the highest since June 2018.

With the UK economy already showing signs of a slowdown in the face of Covid-19 disruption and Brexit-based uncertainty the prospect of a greater deterioration in momentum weighed heavily on the Pound.

Slowdown in UK Growth Momentum Puts Pressure on GBP Exchange Rates
As the monthly UK gross domestic product reading for October fell in line with forecasts, dipping from 1.1% to just 0.4%, this added to the bearish mood of GBP exchange rates.

The sharp decline of the NIESR monthly GDP tracker for November offered additional evidence of weakness within the economic outlook.

GBP/AUD Exchange Rate Rallies

Even so, if the UK and EU can reach an agreement at the weekend this could see the GBP/AUD exchange rate rally sharply next week.

If the two sides manage to avoid a no-deal Brexit scenario the appeal of the Pound may improve sharply, buoyed by the reduced risk of an extended economic slowdown.

On the other hand, a lack of resolution for the Brexit situation could force GBP exchange rates to shed even further ground in the days ahead.
