  "account": "The Euro strengthened against the British Pound on Monday, buoyed by improved market sentiment. The EUR/GBP pair traded below 0.8400 at the start of the European session, up from its previous low of 0.8361. The Euro gained support from a temporary decline in oil prices, as Qatari mediators arrived in Tehran to help de-escalate tensions in the region. Oil prices fell to 110.25, still high for Eurozone economies reliant on imports, but easing fears of further conflict has bolstered the Euro. France's debt rating remained unchanged at Aa3 by Moody's despite riots in some major cities, reassuring the market that avoided a downgrade. The Euro also benefited from France's Treasury yields dropping sharply at the beginning of the week. Investors will be closely watching the German IFO Business Climate release on Monday, awaiting the ECB's monetary policy decision on Thursday. The Bank of England's meeting is next week, with a quarter-point rate hike expected, likely to keep the Pound down. Meanwhile, AUD/USD held above 0.7000 through the Asian session, near a one-month high, with US bond yields falling further as oil prices retreated. USD/JPY saw fresh selling during Asia's trading hours, halting its recovery from a three-month low, but the yen benefited from a hawkish Bank of Japan. Gold recovered slightly from a three-month low, trading above $4,000, as the US Dollar weakened amid uncertainty ahead of the November midterm elections.",
  "summary": "The Euro (EUR) bounces up against the British Pound (GBP) on Monday, favoured by a somewhat brighter market sentiment, as Oil prices retreat from six-month highs and France’s debt rating spared a downgrade over the weekend.",
