The JPY is the strongest and the GBP is the weakest as the European afternoon session begins

The USD is higher

Today is Labo(u)r Day in both Canada and the USA.  US and Canada financial institutions will be closed. If you are expecting the mail, think twice as well.   However, although closed, the forex market will not sleep.  The markets are indeed open with European traders doing the heavy lifting (mainly).  

To start the European afternoon session the JPY, AUD and USD are near a dead heat for the strongest of the majors, while the GBP is the weakest.  The market is focused on the Brexit negotiations and the optics are not positive for a deal at this point.  That has traders trending the GBP pairs to the downside. 

The USD is higher Looking at the ranges and changes, versus the USD, the GBP is trading down -110 pips on the day and has not peeked above the unchanged line from Friday’s close.  It trades near the lows for the day.  The USDCAD is trading up 31 pis and the NZDUSD down -20 pips. The other pairs are all trading within 13 pips of unchanged on the day.   Ranges are modest with apart from the USDCAD and GBPUSD, the ranges are less than 36 pips.
