CABLE
CABLE: Cable last seen at $1.2920, 4 pips better off. This occurs after the rate
added 17 pips on Friday, mostly owing to softer greenback. Although the rate
spiked to its intraday low of $1.2876 on the back of better than exp. U.S. GDP,
it wiped out losses and advanced thereafter, as the breakdown data proved weak.
- Cross-party Brexit talks are set to continue this week, with PM May still
hoping to avoid the UK taking part in the May 23 European elections.
- Bulls need to retake the 200-DMA/100-DMA at $1.2960/67 before targeting the
triangle resistance at $1.3005. Above here would suggest an upside reversal. On
the downside, focus falls on the $1.2900 mark, breached on Friday. Below would
expose the 1.0% 10-DMA envelope at $1.2833, where cable bottomed on Feb 12.
- On Thursday, the BoE will deliver its MonPol decision, with the Bank's
inflation report due to be released at the same time. A press conference with
Gov Carney will follow. Elsewhere, attention will be drawn to UK m'fing &
