CABLE: GBP/USD last trades flat at $1.3295, after advancing nearly 50 pips
Friday, on the back of reports suggesting that UK Chancellor Hammond was meeting
with DUP MPs to secure terms that would enable them to vote for May's Brexit
deal at the next meaningful vote planned for Tuesday.
- On Sunday, UK Trade Minister Fox told Sky that there will be no Brexit vote
this week if the gov't had no chance of winning, while Chancellor Hammond said
that the vote will not be happening without the support of the DUP and at least 
some eurosceptic Tory MPs. As a reminder, on Thursday UK PM May will attend an
EU leaders' summit and is set to ask for an extension to Art. 50.
- Initial resistance noted at the $1.3300 figure, which capped gains on Friday,
followed by the upper 1.0% 10-DMA envelope, located at $1.3315. Meanwhile, bears
look to the 100-WMA at $1.3221.
- The BoE is set to deliver its MonPol decision on Thursday, with no change to
the policy rate exp. Elsewhere, UK focus this week turns to domestic labour mkt
data due Tuesday, CPI due Wednesday and retail sales due Thursday. Elsewhere,
Brexit matters will remain in the spotlight.
