CABLE: Touched a high Friday of $1.3133 as the earlier risk inspired rally
(China export growth outlook) extended gains into NY. However, as rally momentum
faded so profit take sales helped to ease rate back to $1.3068 with recovery
efforts capped around $1.3080 before closing at $1.3073. Strong open in major
Asia-Pac equity indexes, seen as a continuation of the reaction to Friday's
China news, saw safe haven currencies under pressure and so allowed cable to
push up and make a show at $1.3103. Rate struggled to gain a toe hold above the
figure and eventually drifted to $1.3087 in early Europe. UK Parliament now in
its Easter recess until Apr23, though Conservative-Labour Brexit talks to
continue through the break. 
- A light data calendar Monday. Focus on Tuesday Labour market report, CPI
Wednesday. 
- Support $1.3070-60, stronger into $1.3050. Resistance $1.3103, $1.3133.
