Technical Analysis: Bias Bearish

Fundamental View:
- Disappointing UK construction PMI adds to the downward pressure. UK construction PMI fell to 52.1 in September from previous month's reading of 52.9 and worse than 52.5 expected.
- Brexit headlines will continue to drive the GBP through the broader markets. The path for Britain's EU exit still remains as cloudy and unexplained as it was following the referendum.
- On the other side, Canadian dollar lifted by the surprise resolution to NAFTA talks. US and Canada alongside Mexico, have reached a new trade deal, to replace NAFTA.
