Key Quotes

“Fed Fund futures may still be rallying, but short sterling ones aren't. The sterling market prices a slower pace of rate hike than the dollar one, and any good news can see that accelerate.”

“There's a case for being short of short sterling futures, at the same time as selling GBP/USD up here, on ongoing election uncertainty (where polls aren't changing and the prospect of a very messy coalition still looms large). Otherwise, stick with longs in SEK and NOK vs EUR and CHF.”
