GBP/AUD
Brexit-related concerns continue to pin down the British pound against the Australian dollar in the trading sessions. Prices of the exchange rate are projected to go down towards their support level despite the push and pull in strength faced by the Australian dollar in the recent sessions. Luckily for bearish investors, most experts argue that the Reserve Bank of Australia isn’t likely to cut its interest rates any more to stimulate the struggling economy. However, some also believe that there is a chance that the bank would expand its quantitative easing program to act as support for the economy. Recently, it was reported that Australia’s coronavirus hotspot, the state of Victoria, extended its hard lockdown in its capital city, Melbourne, to fully contain the spread of the virus. The decision to extend the restrictions comes despite the decline in the rate of new cases recorded each day in the area. The decision, of course, will have an impact on the economy.

According to local reports, the new lockdown restrictions will be enforced on 18 Danish municipalities and it will limit the assembly of people from 100 to just 50 people.
