GBP / USD jumps to 1.5-month highs near 1.3150 on resumption of Brexit talks

It is anticipated that Brexit talks are formally restarted with the aim of reaching an agreement by mid-Novembere. The calls between London and Brussels were made earlier this week, seeking a way to revive and intensify the talks.

Last week, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told the nation to prepare for a no-deal Brexit after EU leaders refrained from giving ground or agreeing to speed up the pace of negotiations. Since then, the mood has changed.

Hopes for a fiscal stimulus deal in Washington are also helping the lbira advance. The safe haven dollar is under pressure.

The GBP/USD has been climbing ahead of the news, but broke out significantly higher on the data, rising more than 70 pips in the last hour and hitting six-week highs in 1.3145, its highest level since 9 September.

This is what the movement of the British pound looks like on the four-hour chart. The Relative Strength Index is above 70, therefore in overbought conditions. Momentum remains up.
