Cable steady as we head toward general election

Cable at 1.5260 is pretty much where it closed out Monday in North America. Polls suggest David Cameron and the Conservatives are on a roll. Interestingly enough leading UK bookmaker Ladbrokes still favours no party winning an overall majority i.e a hung parliament.

Latest odds this morning:

Conservative overall majority 1/1 (evens) No overall majority/hung parliament 5/6.

UK economic data scheduled today:

08:30 GMT: Mortgage approvals for March expected 50k; net lending sec on dwellings expected £1.6 bln; net consumer credit expected £0.5 bln

08:30 GMT: M4 money supply for March

08:30 GMT: Manufacturing PMI for April expected 57.5 from 57.2
