CABLE
MNI (London)
CABLE: Cable managed to recover off Monday's low of $1.2252, the dip holding
just shy of technical support at $1.2250(76.4% $1.2076-1.2813), trading to
$1.2301 into the close. Recovery extended in early Asia to $1.2317 as risk was
given a boost on release of China PMI data before momentum faded and rate
settled back around $1.2300. Heading into Europe and positions were adjusted
ahead of the release of UK final Q1 GDP with sterling seen under pressure.
Revision from -2.0% to -2.2% provided another knock to sterling as cable was
pressed back to $1.2274, with recovery efforts so far holding shallow. Support
remains into $1.2252/50, a break to expose next support $1.2234 ahead of
$1.2206, with $1.2162 likely to beckon. Resistance $1.2320.
- BOE Haldane(hawkish) speaks at 1100BST, BOE Cunliffe(dovish) at 1500BST. PM
Johnson to unveil his 'Rooseveltan' new deal, though most details already in the
market.   
- Month-end and final model signals awaited. Possible that last night's Wall St
close could produce a neutral USD signal, though trend yesterday had flipped to
USD buys, one major bank suggesting short cable into the fixes.
