Investors digested some positive news towards the end of last week and over the weekend. Despite ongoing tough negotiations, both the EU and the UK are keeping hopes alive following a promising phone call on Sunday. On the virus front, the first COVID-19 vaccination was administered to the US public on Monday providing some relief.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Wall Street, the Dow and S&amp;P 500 closed in negative territory while Nasdaq Composite edged higher boosted by the performance of the big tech companies:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 185 points or 0.6% to 29,862.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">S&amp;P 500 dropped by 16 points or 0.4% to 3,647.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nasdaq Composite rose by 62 points or 0.5% to 12,440.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><b>Currency markets\u00a0<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the FX space, major currencies were mixed against the US dollar amid a relatively muted economic calendar. The greenback remains fundamentally weak against major pairs. Commodity-linked currencies firmer higher but pared gains towards the later session following weaker commodity prices. The Pound was among the few currencies to have climbed higher against the US dollar following hopes that Brexit talks were kept alive and a no-deal scenario might be avoided.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The GBPUSD pair gapped higher on the open and reached a high of 1.3445 before closing lower at 1.3324 on Monday. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-269189\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gomarkets.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/currency_151220.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"633\" height=\"272\" \/><br \/>\nSource: GO MT4<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Commodities<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last week, the US FDA voting and authorisation of the vaccine in the US helped crude oil prices to extend gains.
