Strategy Pair Action Target Strategy Rationale
AUD/USD & NZD/USD LONG BASKET Dist: +150 pips Isolating USD weakness by longing two commodity currencies (AUD and NZD) that benefit from risk-on sentiment and higher commodity prices, while neutralizing specific Australia/New Zealand economic risks through diversification.
EUR/JPY & GBP/JPY SHORT BASKET Dist: -180 pips Isolating JPY strength against two European currencies with mixed fundamentals (EUR and GBP), as Japanese equities hit record highs and current account surplus supports yen, while Europe faces inflation cooling and political uncertainties.
CAD/CHF & USD/CHF SHORT BASKET Dist: -140 pips Isolating CHF strength against two weakening North American currencies (CAD and USD), as Swiss data shows retail sales strength and manufacturing improvement while Canada faces employment weakness and US shows economic softening.
EUR/AUD & GBP/AUD SHORT BASKET Dist: -160 pips Isolating AUD strength against two European currencies (EUR and GBP), as Australian markets surge with commodity support while Europe shows mixed signals and UK faces housing market concerns.
USD/JPY & CAD/JPY SHORT BASKET Dist: -200 pips Isolating JPY strength against two weakening currencies (USD and CAD), as Japanese economic momentum contrasts with US rate cut expectations and Canadian employment deterioration.
NZD/CAD & AUD/CAD LONG BASKET Dist: +130 pips Isolating CAD weakness against two commodity peers (NZD and AUD), as Canada's unemployment concerns contrast with Australia's market strength and New Zealand's employment growth, while all three benefit from commodity exposure.
