Daily Trading Stance

  • We have a LOT of data releases today. Check the economic calendar for details. After a heavy sell-off in the Shanghai Composite and AUD and NZD, we recommend to sell stocks on rallies today. Corroborating evidence: Treasuries are making new highs and 10-year BE inflation rates are down.
  • Beware of E-Z New Industrial Orders in the European session as that could set the tone heading into the US session.

EURUSD

Given the large drop in spot from yesterday’s highs, we might find some short term support for front end downside but in general gamma should slip going into Thanksgiving.

USDJPY

Vols have been weak all morning with the usual curve steepening trades. 3m and out well supported but 1m and below sees only sellers.

AUDUSD

Front end vols continue to get sold this morning while mid curve risk reversals are bid with spot trading down to fresh lows. Expect spot to continue towards 9100.
