Cable marches higher

The US dollar has been on the back foot since the U Mich consumer sentiment numbers were released and that's given a second wind to the cable trade.

The gains have boosted the pair through the 55-day moving average.

That metric hasn't been much of an indicator in the past few months.

The gain today also clears the 61.8% retracement of the Nov 2 tumble. A full retracement would threaten the double top at roughly 1.3310.

The trigger for the latest round of gains was a report suggesting there was a path where May could pay more (perhaps double) to the EU on the exit bill but get a better trade deal as a result.

That's a narrative to watch in the day ahead.
