Key Quotes:
“This week, the EU and UK reached an agreement on a transition period lasting from 30 March 2019 until year-end 2020. While positive, it is not the game changer and in any case a deal was widely expected. The negotiations on the future relationship are going to be much more complicated, not least with respect to the outstanding Irish border issue.”
“EUR/GBP fell on the transition agreement but we do not expect EUR/GBP to move significantly lower before we get more clarification on what the future relationship is going to look like.”
“We target EUR/GBP at 0.86 in 6M and 0.84 in 12M. Our call for a lower EUR/GBP is also supported by Bank of England, as the BoE meeting this week has not changed our view that the BoE will hike twice this year (May and November).”
