CABLE
CABLE: Cable last deals at $1.3213, 18 pips better off, after touching session
highs of $1.3224 as the Commons passed an amendment allowing MPs to take control
of the parliamentary agenda on Weds, even as the gov't ordered its MPs to oppose
the motion. Several junior ministers resigned to back the amendment. The Commons
will proceed to indicative votes on a number of Brexit options on Weds.
- The pair finished 14 pips lower on Monday, with GBP underperforming all of its
G10 peers, amidst Brexit chaos. Although early European afternoon saw GBP draw
some support from an ITV report stating that the third "meaningful vote" may
happen on Tues, subsequent speech from PM May, who said that the gov't would not
commit to delivering the outcome of parliamentary indicative votes, pulled cable
back to negative territory.
- Bulls look to $1.3224, which has capped gains today and on Friday, and
represents the 200-HMA. Bears target the 100-HMA at $1.3183, which has limited
losses thus far.
- Although Brexit matters will likely continue to dominate, Tuesday will see
remarks from BoE's Broadbent, while UK Q4 GDP (f) hits on Friday.
