Sterling's Scope to Rise Versus Euro Looks Limited -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-24

0832 GMT - Sterling has limited scope to rise against the euro as the bar is exceptionally high for the Bank of England to raise interest rates as the market expects, ING's Chris Turner says in a note. Sterling remains surprisingly well-supported versus the euro even after the market scaled back expectations for BOE rate rises on Monday, he says. The adjustment in rates came after President Trump said he would postpone military strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure for five days. However, one-month risk reversals for euro versus sterling show the skew towards call options, or bets on it rising, remains elevated, LSEG data show. The euro trades flat at 0.8646 pounds and ING expects falls to be capped at 0.8600. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
