GBPJPY View!!An FX option note from Societe Generale highlights the potential for EUR/GBP to bounce with relative rates and suggests taking advantage of low option prices to benefit.
EUR/GBP has lost 3.5% since early August highs above 0.8600, which is consistent with the widening GBP-EUR rate differential. Soc Gen rates strategists think the market is pricing in more than enough ECB rate cuts in a soft-landing scenario, while the BoE will struggle to remain restrictive. In this context, the strategists expect the EUR-GBP rate differential to rebound imminently, lifting EUR/GBP with it. They also highlight how relative economic surprises are now also pointing upwards.
