GBP / USD rises towards 1.3400 after Barnier said there are now two unresolved issues

The chief Brexit negotiator for the European Union (EU), Michel barnier, said two conditions remain unresolved in Brexit trade negotiations, after the talks extend beyond the deadline set on Sunday.

Sounding a bit more optimistic, Barnier said that negotiators will give every opportunity to reach an agreement while remembering that the friction points continue.

Their comments acknowledge that progress is apparently being made on one of three key differences, including fisheries, governance and a level playing field.
