CABLE: Touched an early low Wednesday of $1.2827 before sterling recouped losses
through the balance of the day with month-end flow, as well as positioning ahead
of a YouGov poll (ahead of the Dec12 general election), seen providing the main
drive. Cable traded to a high of $1.2916, dipped to $1.2889 before it spiked up
to $1.2921 on poll release. Poll suggested that PM Johnson's Conservative party
could win a 68 seat majority at the election(easier passage for Brexit Bill),
which was higher than most expected and provided the boost for sterling. Asia
took over the sterling buy baton and took cable on to $1.2951 before momentum
faded and profit take supply provided a counter. Rate eased to $1.2919 before
picking up fresh demand that took it back to the earlier high ahead of Europe.
Rate retains an underlying buoyant tone into European trade. Sterling strength
also allowed EUR/GBP to make a show under Gbp0.8500, holding toward the lows
into Europe.
- Cable support $1.2920/15, $1.2890, $1.2865. Resistance $1.2970-85, $1.3000,
$1.3013.
