I’m sure no one is going to get carried away with these moves but based on the BOE minutes the downside might have just become a tad more difficult to achieve now. The dollar is going to have a big say on one side, so caution still remains for cable. Elsewhere we might start to see a bottom put in but it’s still early days so I wouldn’t necessarily go chasing these moves.
