  • “Economic divergence between the Euro area and the U.S. - which we think is the right fundamental view - is increasingly priced.”
  • They see “paths for European rates to rally absent a bullish impulse from the U.S., but those rely on either a further deterioration in Euro area fundamentals, or a shift in reaction function from the ECB.”
