CABLE: ### - POV - Under pressure in early Europe as rate breaks below its
earlier Asian base of $1.3124 to extend the intraday low to $1.3106. Early
trader reports seem to have a very negative tone toward sterling based on
continued Government Cabinet Brexit related infighting over the weekend along
with views that this week's BOE meeting may ease away from its recent hawkish
tones due to softer data releases. Views over the BOE MPC split, one major US
bank sees only 2 dissenters vs majority for no change in rates, though a major
US Investment bank, and a major German bank, suggest could again be a 5-3 split
with Haldane possibly moving across to the hawk side. Whatever the outcome there
is little chance seen for a rate hike at this week's meeting. End month and
traders will be wary of possible European sovereign RHS interest at today's
fixes. A break below $1.3100 would leave area between $1.3065/50 exposed.
Resistance remains at $1.3150/65.
