EUR/GBP: More upside room on the back of ECB-BoE policy divergence – ING

EUR/GBP is starting to move in the right direction, economists at ING report.

EUR/GBP to hit 0.89 by the summer

“EUR/GBP has started to edge higher and we expect more upside room on the pair on the back of ECB-BoE policy divergence.”

“Our UK economist is calling for a June pause, and given 20 bps of tightening are priced into the Sonia curve for June and 40 bps in total before the peak, there is ample room for GBP to be hit by a dovish re-pricing.”

“We still target 0.8900 in EUR/GBP by the summer.”
