CABLE: Brexit developments continue to drive sterling higher. A BBG source
story, stating that UK PM May will allow her ministers to discuss delaying
Brexit during Tuesday's Cabinet meeting, drove the rate ~50 pips higher during
the NY/Asia crossover, before the Sun reported that May will propose to
ministers that she formally takes a no-deal Brexit off the table. The Sun report
took cable on to $1.3147 but rate faltered ahead of its key 50-wma which
currently comes in at $1.3153(will become more important on Friday's close). An
easing in risk seen as reports emerged of Indian jets attacking terrorist
positions in Pakistan took cable back to $1.3117 before it rallied to $1.3148 as
the FT picked up the PM May story. Dip to $1.3125 into Europe but buyers
continue to be attracted in, rate has edged back to the high in early Europe.
Resistance $1.3150/60, a break to expose $1.3175/80 ahead of $1.3200. Support
now seen back at $1.3100.
