The EURGBP looks braced for more downside after moving under its established price range, this could be due to the fact that due to weak German growth and more expected UK rate hikes.
Deutsche Bank has a bullish view on EURGBP and also a take on the data from the UK. The bank notes that “The market continues to take UK yields higher relative to peers, not just in nominal terms but crucially in inflation-adjusted (real) terms too. 5y real yields have moved up in the UK relative to the EU over the past month.”
On the fundamental backdrop they add that This is in contrast to the dynamic both in the run-up to and around the mini-budget last September, however. Back then, the currency weakened despite the market taking real yields higher, as the market baked in a premium across all UK assets.
“On the EURGBP, they note that! We don’t see such a cross-asset premium returning to UK markets but do think it more likely than not that the currency starts to weaken from here if the nominal yield repricing fails to keep up with the reassessment of the inflation outlook and brings down relative real yields. We like being long EURGBP.”
