14:45 BST - Cautious trade has given way to a test lower, with the break below 162.00 meeting support around 161.30, before settling into cautious trade beneath 162.00. Intraday studies are edging higher, suggesting room for a fresh test above here. But deteriorating daily readings and flattening overbought weekly stochastics are expected to limit scope in fresh consolidation beneath 163.20. Meanwhile, support is at 161.00. A break beneath here would open up congestion around 160.00, where the rising weekly Tension Indicator is expected to prompt consolidation.
