In the heat of the Brexit negotiations and domestic political issues, Sterling struggles to break from corrective, sideways movement against the US Dollar. Brexit minister David Davis is set to address the Brexit committee on Wednesday with the UK Prime Minister possibly appearing in Brussels in an effort to secure the Brexit negotiations moving to trade deal before the year-end.

At the domestic political scene, UK Prime Minister Theresa May is facing a conservative party revolt with Brexit hardliner Boris Johnson and Michael Gove over her plan to keep UK regulations aligned with the European Union after Brexit. This adds up to the unresolved issue of the Irish border that is unconditionally demanded from the UK in Brexit negotiation.
