CABLE: Recovery off Tuesday's low of $1.2002 touched a high in NY of $1.2115
before closing the day at $1.2044. Asian traders reported some short covering at
their open which allowed rate to push through the NY recovery high and on to
$1.2130 before momentum faltered. Rate has since drifted back to $1.2073 in
early Europe. Support seen at $1.2044, stronger toward $1.2000(option interest
being protected?). Resistance $1.2130, $1.2150, $1.2180/1.2200. A light data
calendar in the UK Wednesday. 
- So far the fiscal package announced by Chancellor Rishi Sunak has been taken
well but expect further analysis. Chancellor due to face questions today in
Parliament. 
- MNI Techs: GBPUSD remains under considerable pressure following the sharp
sell-off last week/this week. Last week's break of key support at $1.2726(Feb 28
low) continues to weigh. The move confirmed a resumption of the down leg that
has been in place since Dec13 which opens critical support at $1.2000, last
crossed in 2019, and marks a key psychological level on the longer-term charts.
Resistance switches to Tuesday's high at $1.2273.
