FX Thoughts for the Day − Cable has witnessed a collapse of close to 200pips by Kshitij Consultancy Service
Cable has witnessed a collapse of close to 200pips and could bounce back to 1.9550 later in the day. However, a better than expected US Retail Sales could be the nail in the coffin for Cable. Important to note also is the fact that the pair is now running short of Supports. The immediate Support is near 1.9450. If this is broken past it could then target 1.9400−9380.
