CABLE: Cable is unch. at $1.3024 ahead of Mr Carney's swansong as BoE Gov & a

meeting poised to be a close call. Mkt pricing is almost evenly split between a

cut and a hold, with the sell-side also divided in their exp. The only matter of

consensus seems to be that Haskel & Saunders will retain their dovish leanings.
