The British pound weakened against the other major currencies in
the early European session on Monday amid risk aversion, as oil
prices gave up early gains.
The U.K.'s FTSE 100 index is currently down 0.49 percent or
28.72 points at 5,871, France's CAC 40 index is down 0.49 percent
or 21.36 points at 4,315 and Germany's DAX is down 0.36 percent or
35.27 points at 9,729.
Crude oil for March delivery are currently down $1.24 to $30.95
a barrel.
Harsh winter weather on the U.S. East coast triggered the demand
of U.S. crude oil in Asian deals.
In the Asian session today, the pound held steady against its
major rivals.
In the early European trading, the pound fell to 1.4234 against
the U.S. dollar and 168.31 against the yen, from early highs of
1.4309 and 170.00, respectively. If the pound extends its
downtrend, it is likely to find support around 1.40 against the
greenback and 167.00 against the yen.
Against the euro and the Swiss franc, the pound dropped to
0.7607 and 1.4419 from early highs of 0.7553 and 1.4517,
respectively. The pound may test support near 0.77 against the euro
and 1.41 against the franc.
Looking ahead, at 1:00 pm ET, European Central Bank President
Mario Draghi is scheduled to speak at the Deutsche Borse New Year's
reception, in Frankfurt.
