• Cable extends upside, nears 1.36 in holiday thinned trade
• Trump agrees to delay 50% EU tariffs until July 9
• Trump-induced uncertainty does little favours for the dollar
• Traders appear most comfortable holding dollar shorts
• Little in the way of key resistance until 1.3750 on a clear break of 1.36
• However, weekly RSI now most overbought since Jan 2018
• Does raise risk for those chasing upside in cable at current levels
• Recall, corporate month-end is on May 28, typically USD positive
• Support = 1.3434 (Sep 2024 high)
