Almost got to its Sept 8th 1992 high - 2.0110, then another 435 pips up to its ATH in November ´80
Don't you mean ATH 2.45?

DD33, do I understand you correct that 7-2 you expect USD to weaken further and 8-1 you expect USD to strenghten?
The concensus is 7-2 to hold rates - 7 voted NO HIKE, 2 voted raise - but it couild be a vote to cut rate too.

So if we get any number smaller than 7, it means, less voted to HOLD rates and therefore, GBP Positive.

Remember, the Shadow MPC voted 5-4 to raise rates. Shadow MPC is almost correct. If they voted a raise, it could happen now (which did not happen) or next month. Check the UK CPI yesterday; its very unconfortably high eh? So they were accurate to have voted a Raise to curb inflation.

Obvious resistance at 2.0100 which has hit twice and rebuffed the bulls.

3rd time will go through I hope when the BOE minutes come out

Yes.. IMHO coz the last BoE minutes is 8-1 where only 1 voted for interest hikes. If this time the votes become 7-2. Meaning there are greater possibility for interest hike next month. If the votes still stand on 8-1. It will dissapoint some speculator who "bet" on the interest hike.
Last time it was voted 8 for no hike 1 for a rate cut. So there was no one asking for a rate hike.

Well, besides all this speculative thing -that luckly made us earn decent profits- I would like to question you something:

What macro & micro economics consecuences would have the Cable cross above 2.0 from now on?

Any thoughts?

2 voted in favour of rate hike last month. Cable has risen very high due to speculation that its not just 25 base point rise being talked anout but a 50 base point hike (maybe spread over 2 or 3 months). Inflation is a major concern.

Other news is that unemployment claims down and UK avergae earnings up quite a bit which will help cable North.

As cable gets new highs its harder to gauge what to do next it seems 2.0015?
