Any reason you buying GBP? What about selling EURGBP? Better carry, les dependant on USD view if you are bullish GBP, I think 8850 still prices a lot of Brexit catastrophe scenarios. Spend the posiyive carry to buy an ATMS AKI or EKI fwd maybe? not sure how the barrier would look. Our catalan friends gave us another reason to doubt this EUR euphoria of the last months (you thought SA politics were conplicated, ha!!!) Xavier Avila Managing Director From: Paul Barrett <=1 >.

In fact what I do like is combining the long GBP call with a short GBP KI put (vol also too low for that right now). CONFIDENTIAL - PURSUANT TO FED. R. CRIM.
