CABLE: Sterling slippage, which began Tuesday following negative reports
concerning Conservative-Labour Brexit talks, extended to $1.3043 before it
settled around $1.3050 into the close. Early Asia saw corrective pullback extend
to $1.3033before buyers emerged, seen as a reaction to the release of solid
China growth data which gave risk a general upside lift. Cable edged to a
recovery high of $1.3067 in early Europe and was seen finding minor support
around $1.3060(NY hourly recovery high off $1.3043). 
- Support $1.3033/27, break exposes option expiries at $1.3010/00(Gbp1.07bn).
Resistance $1.3067. $1.3106, $1.3120.
- UK Inflation data due for release at 0830GMT(median 0.2%mm, 2.0%yy), with BOE
Carney due to speak in Paris at 1300GMT.
- As was seen Tuesday, although Brexit headlines have quietened down with the
extension in Article50 they can still appear to effect markets.
