CABLE: Managed to make a show back above $1.3100 Monday, traded to $1.3103 as
market reacted to a Sun article suggesting that in the event of a No-Deal Brexit
the UK Govt would still allow goods to cross the Irish border unimpeded, at
least for a temporary period. If this allayed some fears the positive reaction
didn't last long and rate eased back as it played catch up on EUR/USD's earlier
slippage with the USD making general gains. Cable eased through its earlier low
of $1.3041 to $1.3029 before it settled around $1.3040(and above its 200-dma,
today at $1.3033) into the close. Asia saw a quick probe under Monday's low, the
rate touched $1.3027 before bouncing back to settle again around the $1.3040
level.
 - Cable support $1.3027, stronger into $1.3000. Resistance $1.3100-15. 
 - UK Services PMI hits later today, Thursday will bring the first BoE MonPol
decision of 2019, alongside the release of the Bank's inflation report & meeting
minutes. Brexit headlines remain on watch, though any move on the UK and EU
stance over the Irish border now seen key. PM May is in N.Ireland today.
