CABLE
CABLE: A strong labour market report released on Tuesday out of the UK prompted
participants to slightly trim their BoE easing bets, although the pricing of a
quarter-point cut to the bank rate this month remains >60%. Jobs addition was
robust, taking employment to the highest level on record, while the jobless rate
held at a four-decade low. GBP finished the day as the best G10 performer.
- Meanwhile, the Telegraph circulated a source report suggesting that the EU may
offer the UK worse trade deal terms than those it agreed with Canada or Japan.
- Cable is unchanged at $1.3050. Bulls look for a firm push above the trendline
resistance at $1.3070, towards the Jan 17 high of $1.3118. On the flip side,
bears keep an eye on the nearby $1.3045 50-DMA. A break here would open up the
Jan 14 low of $1.2955.
- PM Johnson's Brexit Bill won the backing of the Lords, but was amended in the
process. It means that the Commons will now decide on those amendments. The
gov't's spokesman James Slack said that the Tories are "not planning to accept
any amendments."
- The focus turns to flash PMI surveys, due on Friday.
