(Bloomberg) -- Buy Jan. V2X/VIX futures spread at 2.75 as
VStoxx is structurally cheap vs VIX; spread of ~3 or less is
optimal, SocGen strategists led by Herve Guyon write in note.

* VStoxx structurally cheap vs VIX as duration of Korean
Autocalls is much lower than European Autocalls, putting
pressure on shorter term vol and skew on SX5E
* Jan. is cheapest maturity in absolute terms, adjusted by
calendar effect
