Key Quotes

“We expect EUR/GBP to trade slightly lower going into the Bank of England meeting next week where we expect the BoE to hike the Bank Rate by 25bp. However, given that a rate hike is almost fully discounted in the market, we would expect any rally in GBP to prove short-lived.”

“Hence, we look for EUR/GBP to remain range bound near term with Brexit uncertainty expected to remain a key source of volatility.”

“Longer term, we still expect EUR/GBP to eventually trade lower driven by Brexit clarifications and fundamental valuations. We target EUR/GBP at 0.8650 in 3M, 0.84 in 6M and 0.83 in 12M.”
