Nordea-FocusUK-GBP 11th Oct 2013

Here yet another report from the professionals on the UK with some accompanying FX forecasts.

Summary Nordea:

  • In spring the recovery was seen as the slowest in 100 years. Now, PMIs are the highest on record.
  • In spring Governor Carney was the dove above doves. Now, he sees no need for more QE and is not afraid to hike rates at some point.
  •  The GBP has strengthening significantly as a consequence, but the most recent move higher in GBP/USD seems overdone.
  •  We maintain our longer-term GBP views: stronger vs the EUR and weaker vs the USD.

Here the report:
