AUD to GBP extend losses for the sixth consecutive trading session, and now bears are in control as the pair breached below the 100-day moving average. Hopes for a deal between UK and EU support the pair as the negotiations between the two sides will restart tomorrow in Brussels. This would be the final critical stage of the talks ahead of the EU summit in October. Negotiators need to find common ground on the EU fishing rights and the level playing field issue.
