If he wants to write calls vs. AAP1, think now is an opportune time.

ADP came in ahead of street expectations yesterday (215k vs. 170k expected; revised October +54k), and street is calling for headline number of +185k tomorrow morning.

A recent (D8) FX note discusses reasons why it's tough to build a fundamentally bullish case for sterling with the market pricing the first BOE hikes by mid-2015 (well ahead of the ECB and even the Fed).
