*COMMENTARY* The 116-052 area has continued to provide protection to the

downside, having foiled two attempts to move lower. That said, there is still

resistance from between 116-170 and the 3 month falling resistance line at

116-185 to deal with, before the upside is then in a position to challenge the

Dec 1 high at 116-227, where bigger questions are asked. Meanwhile, some earlier

support is seen from 116-087/116-080.
