Key Quotes:
"For a second week in a row we have two bullish arrows on GBP giving us a buy on weakness signal. Our model remains downbeat, but our macro and technical views are aligned. Brexit risk is overdone. UK polls are a poor guide to the national mood if polling for the last general election and Scottish independence are anything to go by.
PM Cameron should emerge from EU membership renegotiations with a strong hand, helping tip the case in favour of continued EU membership. UK rates markets have gone too far as well, now leaning toward small odds of a base rate cut by year's end (40%). ECB easing risk into March another factor that should constrain EUR/GBP upside."
