toward $1.1640, allowing EUR/GBP to ease to Gbp0.8875, while cable eases off to
$1.3115. UK GfK consumer confidence, released overnight, slipped to -9 vs a
forecast -7, but remained off recent lows. UK final reading of Q1 GDP due at
0830GMT, expected to remain at 0.1%qq. Attention today on release of EZ Flash
