CABLE: Extended its slow corrective pullback from Thursday's high of $1.2354 to
a low Monday of $1.2234. However, release of better than forecast UK GDP, and
mild positive sound bites from PM Johnson's meet with Ireland Vradkar, provided
sterling with a renewed lift which took cable to $1.2385. Sterling struggled to
hold gains, dipped back to $1,.2317 before it bounced to $1.2374, settling
around $1.2345 into the close. Traders have noted the poor liquidity in sterling
pairs with orders able to over influence. In Asia cable was contained within a
range of $1.2336-57, early Europe so far continuing the consolidation. 
- UK Jobs report at 0830GMT. Employment expected to remain firm, more attention
set on wages. 
- Cable support $1.2336, $1.2317, $1.2300. Resistance $1.2375-85, break to
expose $1.2400.
- Traders aware that $1.2300 holds strikes for Gbp1.86bln of expiries for
today's NY cut, Gbp1.1bln Gbp calls.
