Key Quotes
“GBP crosses suffered yesterday as Brexit fears gained traction”.
“We stress that given the significant uncertainty surrounding the British EU referendum in June, we see risks skewed to the upside for EUR/GBP in coming months”.
“We expect volatility to remain high and, clearly, EUR/GBP is likely to be very sensitive to news flow, changes in polls, etc. We forecast EUR/GBP at 0.80 in 3M but lower in 6-12M on relative rates, growth and no Brexit (our base case)”.
