SX7E implied-realised correlation near 5 year high, driven by stock-level divergence SX7E 6m implied correlation has fallen since Mar-17 but the implied-realised correlation spread remains in the 88" 5 year percentile (Chart 19). Notably, the low SX7E 6m realised correlation in 2017 was mostly driven by company-specific rather than region- specific divergenc
