Strategy Pair Action Target Strategy Rationale
GBP/USD & AUD/USD LONG BASKET Dist: +150 pips Isolating USD weakness by longing two commodity-linked currencies with positive domestic catalysts (strong UK retail, steady Aussie employment) to hedge against individual country risks.
EUR/JPY & GBP/JPY LONG BASKET Dist: +180 pips Capitalizing on JPY weakness due to political uncertainty and poor trade data, while diversifying across European currencies to mitigate specific Eurozone manufacturing weakness.
CHF/JPY & CAD/JPY LONG BASKET Dist: +140 pips Pairing JPY weakness against two currencies with improving fundamentals (Swiss GDP recovery, Canadian manufacturing sales beat) to create balanced JPY short exposure.
GBP/CAD & AUD/CAD LONG BASKET Dist: +130 pips Exploiting CAD weakness from cooling inflation and housing misses against two stronger commodity peers, diversifying to reduce reliance on single commodity correlation.
EUR/CHF & GBP/CHF SHORT BASKET Dist: -90 pips Relative CHF strength play against European peers facing manufacturing weakness and tariff concerns, using two pairs to average out individual currency volatility.
NZD/USD & CAD/USD LONG BASKET Dist: +110 pips USD short basket using two currencies with central bank divergence potential (RBNZ on hold vs Fed pause, both with improving trade components) to capture broad USD weakness.
