CABLE: Recovery off Tuesday's low of $1.2975 topped out at Thursday's opening
high of $1.3030. Rate eased to $1.2990 in early NY Wednesday but managed to
recover to $1.3026 through the FOMC announcement/Powell press conference before
it closed around $1.3020. Cable touched a high in Asia of $1.3026 before
drifting lower through the rest of the session to $1.3010, with early Europe
giving it an added shove down to $1.3001. Rate seen hugging the $1.3000 level
with market seemingly split on views for today's BOE MPC rate announcement,
recent comments from BOE MPC members make the event live as weak data suggests
we could see a 25bp cut. However, the data is pre election with post election
sentiment indicators, as well as employment, providing the argument for
unchanged rates. EUR/GBP seen holding back around its key technical 10-dma
(currently Gbp0.8468). 
- Cable support $1.2990, $1.2975, $1.2950. Resistance $1.3030, $1.3060,
$1.3090/1.3100. 
- Direction to be dictated by the BOE decision. Vote split of interest if
unchanged.
