Cable is trading firmer this morning, presently up at 1.6725 from a North American close Thursday around 1.6665. The pairing, like EUR/USD, is benefitting from the release of encouraging Chinese data.

For today, supports at 1.6690, 1.6665 and 1.6645/50, resistances up at 1.6740/50 and 1.6780/85.

Little in the way of UK economic data today;

08:30 GMT: UK August PPI input prices +1.0% m/m, -8.4% y/y, output prices +0.3% m/m, -0.5% y/y.
