EU official: Brexit talks make progress, no deal yet - Bloomberg

According to Bloomberg, an EU official familiar with the matter said that despite some progress in Brexit negotiations, sides haven't been able to reach a deal yet and talks were expected to continue over the weekend. 

The initial market reaction to this development dragged the GBP/USD pair to a fresh 2-day low at 1.3144. However, the losses stayed limited amid the thin trading conditions ahead of the weekend.
