Key Quotes
“We’re much more comfortable
with the idea of oil settling into a range (USD 40-50/bbl?) than with
the notion of further gains near term, but as long as prices are still
building a base that’s enough to give us a bullish bias of oil-sensitive
currencies. Shorts in GBP/NOK and EUR/RUB are fine, the CAD is less
cheerful.”
