EURGBP has traded sharply higher today and in the process breached resistance at the 50-day EMA, at 0.8311. The cross is also through the December highs. This undermines the recent bearish theme and suggests scope for a stronger short-term recovery. A continuation of the bull leg would expose 0.8376, the Nov 19 high and the next important resistance. Initial support lies at 0.8284, today’s intraday low.

• Gov. Waller (permanent voter) seeing more rate cuts as appropriate has seen Fed Funds implied rates dip 1-2bps across the near-term path.
• In doing so, it’s reversed the impact from yesterday’s ISM services beat (primarily on its particularly strong prices paid component) with help from President-elect Trump yesterday also wanting to see lower rates.
• Cumulative cuts from 4.33% effective: 1bp Jan, 10.3bp Mar, 15.5bp May, 25bp Jun, 28bp Jul and 38bp Dec. 

• GBP1.0625bln had been on offer.
• This leaves GBP 4.250bln of the gilt in issue.
