01:00 GMT - Lower in consolidation from the 159.75 current year high as prices unwind overbought intraday studies. Daily chart are stretched as well and break of the nearby support at 159.00/158.90 will open up room deeper corrective pullback to the 158.50/158.00 congestion area. Below this see strong support at the 157.65 expected to underpin and limit corrective pullback. Meanwhile, resistance at the 159.45 and 159.75 highs expected to cap for now. A later break here will further extend gains within the bull channel from the April low and see room to retest the 160.00 figure.
