The headline is probably tempting fate, but cable off to slow start. It sits at 1.6270, pretty much where it stood in late North American trade Wednesday.

Couple of bits of data today:

08:30 GMT: UK PMI services August expected 54.0

08:30 GMT: UK official reserves August.

Technical supports 1.6250, 1.6220 and 1.6180, resistances 1.6300, 1.6335, 1.6350.

Talk of fairly decent sell interest up at 1.6300. Will be interesting to see how decent if we get up there.
