CABLE
CABLE: Cable continues to trade around yesterday's highs, sitting at $1.3000,
after it was initially supported by positive Brexit news Thursday, although
developments elsewhere allowed the rate to hold/then move higher even after
official rebuttal of the related press reports from Westminster & Brussels, with
the rate adding over 200 pips on Thursday. 
- Although yesterday's BoE meeting saw policy left unchanged (in line with
exp.), GBP garnered some upside momentum, as Carney pointed to the fact that the
inflation forecast is a little above target in year two, suggesting there is
room for markets to price in a more hawkish path. 
- Meanwhile, the DXY receded from its multi-month highs, sending the greenback
to the bottom of the G10 table on Thursday. 
- Softer than exp. m'fing PMI figures in both the UK and the U.S. failed to
significantly move GBP/USD. 
- Having seen the rate moving through the key $1.3000 level, bulls look to a
break above the nearby 100-DMA at $1.3045. Bears need a reversal back below
$1.3000 before targeting the Oct 31 high at $1.2831.
