Cable trades to fresh seven-month highs to start the week

The pound stays underpinned ahead of the UK election this week

GBP/USD D1 09-12
Early bids have helped push the pound to a high of 1.3181, closing in on the May high of 1.3185 as we get into what will be a crucial week for the pound.

It is all about the election now and so far the polls are still suggestive of Boris Johnson coming out on top with traders holding out some hope for a majority outcome as well.
As for cable, looking at the weekly chart:

We can see that buyers are looking poised for a key upside break after closing last week above the 100 and 200-week moving averages. This week, the 50.0 retracement level @ 1.3168 will be a key level to watch out for but it all depends on the election outcome.
If we do see yet another hung parliament result, expect the pound to undo its good work since October as we go back to the drawing board in this whole Brexit debacle.
