00:50 GMT - Bounce from the 157.00 level see prices back to consolidate within the 158.00/157.50 range. Daily studies are mixed and suggest ranging action here likely to extend below the 158.00 level. Above the latter will see room for retest of resistance at the 158.50/159.00 congestion area and 24 September high which are expected to cap. Meanwhile, support remains at the 157.50/157.00 congestion. A later break here will return focus to the downside for retest of the 156.07 low and see scope for follow-through to retest strong support at the 155.00, May low.
