CABLE: Volatile trade Tuesday saw cable rally to a high of $1.3087 on back of
softening Brexit tones from the EU and better than forecast UK earnings data.
However, USD recovery in a paring back of earlier risk-on trade saw rate
eventually touch a pullback low of $1.2965 in early NY before it clawed its way
back up to $1.3040 into the close. This renewed sterling strength didn't last
into Asia as the USD regained some general poise and traders also reacted to
negative UK political reports in the press. Daily Telegraph ran a report that
around 50 law makers have met to discuss how and when they could oust PM May
from power, voicing concerns over her Chequers deal, which if brought back to
the UK parliament could act to split the Conservative party. Cable drifted to a
low of $1.3005 ahead of Europe, before getting an added shove in the new session
to $1.2999. However, the pound continues to find demand into the dips, EU
Juncker comments that EU will stick firmly to Brexit divorce demands softened as
he added that EU wants a close future partnership with UK aiding support. Cable
support $1.2994-83(61.8%-76.4% $1.2965-1.3041) ahead of Tuesday's low of
$1.2965. Resistance $1.3040. Focus on Brexit headlines.
