CABLE
CABLE: GBP/USD last trades flat at $1.3212, after adding 17 pips Tuesday.
- Cable posted a ~40 pip leg higher in early Asia-Pac trade on Tuesday, after
the Commons passed an amendment allowing MPs to take control of Wednesday's
parliamentary agenda, but the initial GBP strength gradually waned thereafter.
- The pair then bounced into the European session before comments from DUP's
Wilson, suggesting that his party will not back PM May's deal, triggered a
pullback to the intraday low of $1.3158.
- Subsequent comments from some key eurosceptic Tory MPs, who suggested that
they might support May's deal after all, prompted a rally through $1.3200, only
capped by $1.3262, before cable eased off towards the end of the day.
- On the technical front, consolidation above $1.3200, which also represents the
21-DMA, would allow bulls to target yesterday's high. Meanwhile, a return below
the figure would open up the 55-DMA, which limited losses yesterday.
- UK Q4 GDP (f) comes out on Friday, but Brexit matters will likely dominate,
with lawmakers set to proceed with indicative votes on a number of Brexit
options on Wednesday.
