It has come off those highs and is currently trading at $1.12141. The GBPUSD started the week at $1.20419 and flirted with $1.19 territory, dipping to a low of $1.20132.

The Dow struggled overnight, weighed down by trade concerns between the US and China. The index opened the week at 26,294.78 and edged up to a high of 26,378.60 before things turned south. The Dow basically spent the rest of the session in decline and it plummeted to lows of 25,825.37. It has come off those lows and is currently trading at 25,924.35. The Dax was weighed down by the falling Dow, ending Monday in negative territory. The German index opened at 11,739.16 and spiked to an early high of 11,833.63, where the wet blanket that is the Dow, stepped in. The Dax reversed earlier gains quicker than it made them and then piled on the losses late into the day. It eventually bottomed-out at 11,610.35 before closing at 11,628.71.
