RISK ON/ OFF PARADOX CORRECTION - SHORT SPX/ FTSE & USDJPY P2 Post Brexit SPX vs USDJPY 1. One had expected risk to sell off post brexit as global uncertainty increases, given the amount of volatility in the FX markets in the lead up, this was the rational expectation (whilst VIX traded subdued). However, instead, SPX recovered 6% whilst Yen also rallied 7% higher in the days following the vote. 2. This risk-on risk-off positive correlation rally is almost unseen in markets (especially not at the 75% correlation level) as JPY and SPX positively correlate for the first time in 4 years (as below). 3. As discussed previously this is either 1) because markets are unusually evenly split on sentiment, going against herd behaviour with the marco outlook trading as a non-consensus between participants; 2) CBs have given risk an artificial boost based on supportive statements/ measures. Trade the paradox 1. Short FTSE100 @6600-6800 resistance with a 5700TP (January lows) - once artificial BOE easing rally is finished, likely near 66-800 FTSE will plummet in the medium term as 1) This underlying risk-off bias which has gone un-priced as yet (safe havens up 21% in 2016) prices - not to mention reaching near ATHs, with 10y resistance.; 2) brexit (still not priced in equities)/ Political uncertainty drags on economy and stocks - especially financials, which has a knock-on effect of corp credit tightening; 3) this structural CNH deval prices and hits UK export stocks as it did in Jan 2. Short SPX @2100 with a 1985TP - SPX at these levels looks an attractive short 1) as discussed CNH depreciation which is a macro issue for all stock Exporters to China (biggest market/ growth market) hasnt priced any revenue downside yet like they did in January (-8-13% previously). 2) underlying risk-off bias is still yet to reprice risk lower (2016 safe havens up 21% av. Gold 28%) + only 2% away from ATH - favourable short lvls; 3) Earnings sell-off likely around the corner as investors derisk/ hedge against "shocks"; 4) Brexit induced CB easing/ dovish rally likely to fade soon as it isnt structural growth and FOMC rates are recovering in the back-end (Dec Hike looms). SPX has a more conservative target vs FTSE as less brexit downside & its a structurally stronger index with growth stocks 3. Id also suggest dynamically hedging these positions with 1) Long high growth and low China revenue individual stocks e.g. Goog, FB and/ or 2) shorting GBP index or a GBP cross , lower GBP hedges any potential BOE easing rallies that the FTSE short may negative experience, and also short GBP is a solid trade to have regardless of any FTSE risk you have on the table. *See part 1 for more information "RISK-ON RISK-OFF POSITIVE CORRELATION?

BREXIT YUAN DEVALU: USDCNH - SNEAKY FX FIXING? SELL SPX & FTSEAt the start of 2016 the PBOC began aggressively devaluing the off-shore Yuan against the USD, imo in an attempt to start the year with a competitive export:import advantage - with the aim of making 2016 a headline "come back" year for China amid the growing GDP growth and Credit bubble worries. As a result Equities across the board sold-off (-8.5% in a few days) as non-chinese Exporters globally feared that their biggest market/ growth market was coming under pressure, as the relative value of their USD exports soared, as Chinese import demand would fall significantly and as a function of the depreciation relative to the USD. Whilst the initial highly correlated move hit equities by -8.5% (7 days), however when fully priced, the CNH devaluation fears took the SPX down 13% to 1808 lows in just 12 trading days. The PBOC Deval intervention took CNH to lows of 6.7550 and low-closes of 6.6900. Brexit - Under the radar and sneaky PBOC FX Intervention? 1. Fast forward 6 months - the Days going into Brexit USDCNH traded at almost exactly the same fix as the pre-deval January level at 6.58 (blue line), then on the most volatile brexit days, the 24th and 29th, PBOC fixed the Yuan 1000pips lower to 6.6850, just above the extreme January lows at 6.6900 - Since then CNH has continued drifting lower, and now has eclipsed the shock January low closes of 6.6900, currently at 6.6960, which is now a new 6 year low. - This begs the question, did the PBOC plan this as a way to get their goal of competitive depreciation achieved WITHOUT the negative press/ market impacts that were seen in January? The answer is unknown but by looking at the Yuan prices on brexit day and the day after, it certainly looks like it - 1000pip devaluation in 2 days, thats bigger than any deval in CNH's previous history (even from January). How to trade it? 1. Imo this trade is a no brainer, given the PBOC seem happy to keep fixing CNH higher and have shown no signs of stabilising/ appreciating - with the last 6 daily candles in the green, my bets are that the PBOC in the near-term think they have gotten away with the deval, in the midst of all of the brexit effects e.g. Central Bank information flows are high, the brexit news itself and general market volatility are all acting as distractions - thus the SPX hasnt priced any of this deval YET despite it being more extreme than what caused the 8-13% equities sell off in January? - I have to admit, it has taken even me until now to realise this sly depreciation, nonetheless this trade (short Equities) is a one up on the market currently as most still havent noticed and continue to focus on central bank action.

SHORT EURUSD: DOVISH ECB MONETARY POLICY MINUTES - FRESH EASING?IMO the ECB minutes were the most dovish/ clearly directed statements out of the ECB for several months. Before this, and in the past several speakers comments, sentiment has been towards the hawkish/ stale side, citing "ECB has done enough" as the main rhetoric. The June Minutes however show a renewed positioning of the ECB, where they clearly imply they are willing to take further action if needed be with quotes such as "ECB Ready to Act, Using All Its Policy Tools if Needed", and unlike BOJ Kuroda, the ECB clearly seem to have taken ownership of their poor economic ownership finally by saying " Underlying Inflation Has Yet To Show Clear Signs of Upward Trend" and "To Monitor Inflation Outlook Closely" - given that inflation is their headline goal, such comments, when combined with the above readiness to "act", makes the idea of further easing a much higher probability, especially of late where key members almost have refused to mention further action. IMO, this shift in rhetoric to the dovish/ directive side is in an aim to try and put some negative pressure on the EUR since it has managed to par losses vs the USD, whilst bleeding 12% appreciation vs the GBP. The ECB are likely trying to talk down the currency with such rhetoric, especially in light of brexit, where their currency has failed to revalue/ adjust for the negative economic impact that is coming. I see a very bearish outlook for the EUR over the coming weeks/ months given this new dovish ECB stance, much like the GBP, when a central bank wants the currency lower, that is usually the path it follows. Potential dampeners however are the fact that Draghi has before failed to deliver market expectations (Dec 2015 most notable), so unlike the GBP, the acertive nature of these dovish monutes likely have a diminished impact relatively to say the GBP. Nonetheless, i expect the ECB to continue with the rhetoric and given the appreciation/ stability with their biggest trading partners (USD/ GBP) i expect the ECB to take further action in the near term as as it stands, the EUR exchange rate mechanism will/ is failing to transmit the inflationairy pressure they need (infact the opposite) and further easing is the only way to solve this. Thus, I am short EUR from here, especially against the USD where i think it could be up to 500pips overvalued as it is, given its inability to price previous ECB stimulus (March) and Fed Hike in Dec - this short view is especially the case on the back of likely more easing + brexit uncertainties trade seemingly underpriced (vs EJ) and the new EU export inefficiency to the UK one of its biggest markets (given 12% appreciation) - Clear 4-8wk targets are the 1.082 handle in the near term, with 1.052 lows from dec last year the next aim on the back of any fresh easing/ brexit uncertainties still need to be priced. ECB Monetary Policy Minutes -ECB Minutes: ECB Ready to Act, Using All Its Policy Tools if Needed -ECB Minutes: Brexit Vote Seen As 'Important Source of Uncertainty' for Euro Area Outlook -ECB Minutes: To Monitor Inflation Outlook Closely -ECB Minutes: Brexit Could Cause Significant Negative Economic Spillovers to Euro Area -ECB Minutes: Brexit Impact Could Be Transmitted to Euro Area Through Trade, Financial Markets -ECB Minutes: Underlying Inflation Has Yet To Show Clear Signs of Upward Trend -ECB Minutes: Investors Expect Future Challenges for ECB in Sourcing Enough Bonds Under QE Program -ECB Minutes: It Shouldn't Matter Much Which Precise Assets Are Purchased Under QE -ECB Minutes: What Matters is Overall Purchase Volume, Associated Money Creation -ECB Minutes: Composition of Bond Purchases Still Matters to Investors -ECB Minutes: Health of Euro Area Banks is Key for Effective Transmission of ECB Policy

USD/ DXY: FOMC DUDLEY & WILLIAMS - BREXIT & US ECONOMY SPILLOVER1. IMO Dudley tipped to the dovish side, especially on key inflation highlighting that it is " rising again, but still low". Other rhetoric reaffirmed much of what has been said post the brexit vote e.g. Uncertainty being the biggest factor. 2. Meanwhile, Williams was notably more upbeat/ optimistic, shrugging off the US's shock miss NFP report to instead point out that the underlying trend remains upward. He also relatively underplayed Brexit by saying his baseline view is that it will have a "modest impact" vs Dudleys sitting on the fence of "too soon to say". Further, Williams went on to underplay Brexit as a "normal global economic uncertainty". 3. Nonetheless, both found common ground regarding the "Uncertainty" surrounding the Brexit US spillover effects and "data dependency" being key for FOMC decisions. This has been the case not only between the two today but also for several members in the past few weeks/ months. 4. USD now looks to FOMC Minutes from the June Meeting for any further hints of net member direction and NFP on Friday. I expect much of the same, with bias to Dudley's more cautious/ dovish approach likely to underlie the Minutes but hopefully an outstanding NFP report to spur the USD. 5. The 30-day Federal Funds Rate futures market sold-off Fridays Hawkish gains today, with the Implied Probability of a 25bps FOMC rate hike significantly flattened across the curve, with a Sept/ Nov Hike now at 0% vs 5.9%, Dec at 13.7% vs 22.3% and Feb 2017 at 13.4% vs 21.8%. We also saw a dovish skew across the tenors in favour of a 25bps cut, with Sept/Nov probabilities increasing to 2.4% vs 2.2% Sept and 4.4% vs 2.2% Nov. July expectations traded flat at 97.6% no change. 6. Nonetheless, it was William's bias that won the day as DXY Traded well offered, up 66pips at 96.21, much of which driven by the risk-off turn markets have taken, sending USD higher across the board, most notably against the antipodeans (RBA driven), CAD (oil 4% lower) and GBP (down 2%) as BOE Gov Carney continued to provide dovish sentiment. Also imo earnings season $ demand may have started to price the index higher. 7. Going forward I expect to see continued USD strength across the board as GBP, the Antipodeans, CAD and JPY are likely to realise weakness on the back of poor economic fundamentals, brexit, and further oil falling (global growth worries - brexit/ china linked). Also I expect BOJ easing to price UJ higher in the near future which, all in all, should provide the perfect environment for a higher DXY and USD especially against JPY, NZD and GBP over the next 4-6wks for the attached reasons. End of week DXY should close up 3%+ if NFP comes in firm/ strong - 98.5 target Dudley on US Economy: - Dudley: Brexit Main Uncertainty, Too Soon to Say Impact Yet - Dudley: Investment in U.S. Also an Uncertainty - Dudley: Inflation Is Rising Again, But Still Low - Dudley: Fed Policy Remains Data Dependent - Dudley: Uncertain Outlook Means Can't Predict Fed's Next Move Williams on Brexit: - "I think the economic effects, on the baseline scenario, are relatively modest, but there still is the uncertainty about how things are actually going to play out," - "I would say that what's happened with Brexit has been just one of the normal uncertainties that always occur in the global economy and things that we just have to take into account," - On the poor US Jobs Report - "the underlying trend continues to be good, continues to be above trend and continues to show that the economy is strengthening and not weakening,"

SHORT GBPUSD & FTSE RALLIES: GOV M.C SPEECH & BOE FSR HIGHLIGHTS1. *Id say a 6/10 dovish reaction by markets, GBP falling across the board & FTSE gaining. Carney seems contempt with a lower GBP and is happy to continue talking the currency lower in an attempt to use the exchange rate mechanism as a leading instrument to buoy UK economic stability (GDP, CPI, Unemp) against the potential Brexit backdrop; thus I continue my view of shorting GBP on pullbacks (my near term <1.30 is imminent, with August end 1.25xx in sight) and FTSE on rallies near 6600. 2. I continue to be surprised by the lack of coverage/ rhetoric from media in general and the BOE/ Govs regarding the UK Political situation regarding Brexit e.g. failure to sign the Article 50, PM Cameron Resignation in Oct, 70% chance Brexit happens in 2017 vs 2016. Govenor Mark Carney Speech Highlights: - BOE Carney: Have A Clear Plan, Putting It In Place, And It's Working - BOE Carney: Will Take Whatever Action Needed to Support Stability - BOE Carney: GBP Fall Was "Necessary" To Support Needed Economic Adjustments - BOE Carney: Continues to See "A Material Slowing" in Economy Despite GBP Fall - BOE Carney: Evidence Since Brexit Vote Consistent With Expectation of Slowdown - BOE Carney: Want to Ensure No Question About Availability of Credit - BOE Carney: UK Banks Have More Capital Than They Need - BOE Carney: UK Banks Can Be "Part of the Solution, Not Part of the Problem" - BOE Carney: "Extremely Important" That Policy Decisions Well Targeted - BOE Carney: Negative Rates Have Potentially Counterproductive Consequences - BOE Carney: Commercial Property Not A Big Issue for UK Banks - BOE Carney: General Sense of Heightened Risk Aversion in Global Markets - BOE Carney: Have Wide Range of Tools If Monetary Policy Easing Required Financial Stability Report highlights: - BOE Lowers Countercyclical Capital Buffer for UK Exposures to Zero from 0.5% - BOE: Expects to Maintain CCB at Zero Until "At Least" June 2017 - BOE Move is First Easing of Policy Following Brexit Vote - BOE: Decision Will Raise Banks' Lending Capacity by GBP150 Billion - BOE: Decision Will Lower Regulatory Capital Buffers by GBP5.7 Billion - BOE "Strongly Expects" Banks Will Continue to Support Real Economy - BOE "Strongly Expects" Banks Will Continue to Support Real Economy - BOE: Ready to Take "Any Further Actions" Needed to Support Financial Stability - BOE: Stability of Funding Costs Should Reduce Pressure to Tighten Lending - BOE Sees Risk of Decline in Capital Inflows Following Brexit Vote - BOE: Persistent Fall in Inflows Would Put "Further Downward Pressure" on GBP - BOE: Prolonged Period of Brexit Uncertainty Could Weaken Eurozone, Global Economies

BREXIT AND GEO-POLITICAL AFTERMATH: BUY USDJPY - HOW TO TRADENow that the Brexit risk has been realised the mentioned pairs above will share some correlation this week as the market changes between risk-on and risk-off as MANY on the events continually drive the sentiment shifts. My Plan & Expectations USDJPY 1. My conviction for UJ is long 8/10. -UJ traded to lows of 98.9 in the midst of the brexit hype, as the market hunted for risk off. Further, as with GBP it seems entities over the weekend have increased their JPY exposure to account for the increased percieved risk within the market causing UJ to open lower at 101.6 - However, over the weekend the BOJ had a meeting with other Japanese officials to discuss their plan (an easing plan likely) to combat 1. their inflation problem and now 2. the JPY's safe haven demand strength - both of which are cured by 8/10 aggressive easing policies by the BOJ - Thus I expect the BOJ to hold and emergency meeting this week announcing these changes to have immediate affect as UJ at 100 severely puts the brakes on their inflation growth target. - Further, as previously mentioned the BOE, SNB, FOMC and ECB (among others) have all said since the brexit vote that they are prepared to provide liquidity to markets and their rhetoric has been very dovish. - Thus the BOJ's new easing package which is likely to be aggressive e.g. 20bps rate cute and a large increase QE, will help depreciate the currency through increasing supply and reducing jpy demand. Further, the supportive/ dovish stance of the worlds central banks (particularly BOE and FOMC) will help ease risk aversion which in turn SHOULD reduce JPY demand therefore helping UJ trade better to the upside. So my trading plan for UJ is to buy at levels <102 - 101/2 is ideal (we are unlikely see 99 or 100 again as the risk-off impetuses have died). UJ should hold this range between 101.2 and 103 until CB meetings are in place - I will be holding UJ in the long term through to 110-115 at least. I have 8/10 long conviction for UJ Volatility update: Current UJ ATM 50 delta vols trade at 37.5%, which is surprisingly 3-4x higher than it was last week (the risk and volatility may not be over). 1wk UJ ATM 50 delta vols trade at 20%, significantly lower than current at 37.5% - I think this is a function of the central bank meetings expected this week which are inflating current volatility, with 1wk far vols lower as the events will have elapsed already. 1m UJ ATM 50 delta vols trade up on the week at 15.5% though the time curve is flattening meaning UJ vol is falling over time - lower vols = better conditions for UJ buying. Current UJ Option demand is skewed significantly to the downside, with Puts 40% vs calls 36% thus puts are in demand by about 10% more than calls - this supports nearterm risk-off views (RR -4). USDJPY as a measure of market risk. I still suggest using UJ as a measure of GBPUSD market risk - the volatility seemingly isnt over, and with near term uncertainty high, it is prudent to track UJ and use breaks of its 101.2-103.2 range as signals of net risk on or risk-off commitment .e.g. UJ higher risk on (jpy selling), UJ lower risk off (jp buying). The risk off move for GU imo is lower in this environment, and the risk-on move is higher. Thus, IMO UJ and GU are sync'd, and the two should be used as a tool.

BREXIT & GEO-POLITICAL AFTERMATH: SHORT GBPUSD - HOW TO TRADEGBPUSD - At the end of last week GU traded to lows of 1.32 on the brexit vote, before retracing substantially to 1.39 by the end of the day. - GU retraced 600-700pips after the brexit event IMO solely as investors took profit from their shorts (which causes buying) - thus there was no structural reason for GU recovering e.g. it was that 1.32 had mispriced GU too low for the brexit vote. On the back of this I expect the following for GU this week: 1. I have a 8/10 short conviction on GU and ultimately believe it will trade <1.30 by weeks end for the following reasons: - - As on friday, the bearish movements we saw on GBP were 90% fast money trades and NOT real/ slow money positioning (due to different regulations and trading strategies) therefore, this week, slow/ real money will now be able to get behind the short sterling move thus providing momentum for GBP to move lower and sub 1.30. *Fast money is hedge funds and slow money is asset managers* - David Cameron UK PM also resigned following the result, thus putting further downside expectations on GBP in the near-medium term particularly as it as all come at once. - Also the BOE plans to increase its QE by 66% 350bn to 600bn to support markets but this printing increasing GBP money supply affect puts downward pressure on the GBPUSD. - Further, members of the European parliament have asked and put pressure on the UK to make their exit faster than previously expected, this puts further uncertainty around the brexit and increases the negative impact it may have on the economy and therefore the GBP speculation is made further bearish. - As pictured I had expected the 1.356-1.382 range that had held at the end of last week to hold for the next 24hrs and for GU to trade relatively flat (24hrs for people to make decisions on positioning) however it looks like corporations and other entities have derisked their GBP exposure over the weekend hence we opened 300pips lower at 1.342. - With this range broken we now trade in no mans land, thus with all the negative biases my target from now is for GU to drift towards the lows set from last week for now - If the market changes significantly within the next few hours (e.g. trades back into range) i will update this view. - My target for GBP is <1.30 with a terminal value of 1.25 within the quarter - though i consider that the supportive (no hike) policy of the FOMC will ease GBPUSD losses somewhat. This in mind shorts at these levels are fair 1.34. Alternatively, I also encourage my favourite tactic of shorting/ fading any GBP rallies to 1.38/39 however the chance of GU realising such upside imo is only 50%, with bid trading dominating Volatility update: Current GU ATM 50 delta vols trade at 25%, which is surprisingly 2x higher than it was last week (the risk and volatility may not be over). 1wk GU ATM 50 delta vols trade at 30%, significantly higher than last week also. However 1ms trade 20.49% and are significantly lower than they were last week (illustrating the event risk that has elapsed). Current GU Option demand is skewed significantly to the downside, with Puts 27.5% vs calls 22.5% thus puts are in demand by about 20% more than calls - this supports current short views (RR -5). 1wk GU demand is also skewed in favour of downside coverage, with puts at 33% vs calls 28%, (RR -5%) with puts being demanded apprx 3% more than calls - supporting the near terms view of short GU USDJPY as a measure of market risk. I still suggest using UJ as a measure of GBPUSD market risk - the volatility seemingly isnt over, and with near term uncertainty high, it is prudent to track UJ and use breaks of its 101.2-103.2 range as signals of net risk on or risk-off commitment .e.g. UJ higher risk on (jpy selling), UJ lower risk off (jp buying). The risk off move for GU imo is lower in this environment, and the risk-on move is higher. Thus, IMO UJ and GU are sync'd, and the two should be used as a tool.

GBPSGD: Interesting long opportunityWe have an interesting setup in GBPSGD, look to enter longs at market open, on dips to support or if we get new highs. There is potential for the weekly uptrend to resume as well, but ideally we'd want to see price move in our favor right away. As usual, risk a max of 1-2% on this trade if you take it. Stop loss orders should be below Friday's low to be conservative. It's important to give trades just enough room to work. Good luck!

Sterling Sell OpportunitiesAwaiting a pull back and an exhausted bull candle to trigger a sell. It isn't clear if price will simply continue down or pull back to allow an ideal entry however keep an eye out as price approaches the 50% fib as it's likely traders will liquidate short positions which will allow for a pull back and re-entry to the downside. Brexit fears and what I expect will be a dovish BOE statement this week coming should put more pressure on Sterling to the benefit of the downside.

GBPUSD: After hitting the monthly downtrend target, trend is upGBPUSD has hit the monthly downtrend target, and formed an uptrend setup in the 3 day chart. If not in, there're a variety of ways of joining this trend, via either some kind of options on currency ETFs, or going long GBPUSD with a wide stop loss (ideally on a retracement, but might not happen for a while) or any GBP cross with a suitable setup (I'm in GBPAUD currently, since it offered a very clear entry at 1.852, currently at break even). Use GBPUSD as your map for trading other GBP crosses, you can long all of them (maybe except Yen pairs for now) until GBPUSD hits the mode at 1.53, then it can either turn back down, or break it and rally to at least 1.68. Monitor monthly CCI, once it gets overbought, we should book some profits from our GBP longs. I'll update with new entries if we get any, for now, stand aside if not in some gbp long. If not in, go long GBPCAD now, see my other publication, use a 1 or 3 daily ATR stop loss. 447 pips for 3 atr. Long term position.

GBPCAD: Potential uptrend emerging from hereWe can look to capture some upside in this pair. Currently lagging GBPUSD, and offering indications of a potential bottom. We have landed on the recent monthly uptrend's mode, currently finding support and evidence of the bulls getting involved here. A resumption of said uptrend seems likely. If you're not long, you can enter at market with stops under 1.8257 ideally. Plenty of room to catch up with GBPUSD and other GBP pairs.

Current level 1.4650-1.4700 is 100% expansion of zigzag and also testing horizontal resistance. Long term trend is down and don't see any reason to see bullish count but consider upward move from 1.3850 to 1.4750 is a pair of zigzag correction.

GBPAUD: Pound/Aussie has bottomedAfter an extended decline since the 2015 high, it appears like GBPAUD has hit rock bottom. I'm long from 1.85243, and added today at 1.85526. I expect price to retest the low volume resistance at 2.00 in the intermediate term, and possibly aim for new highs if we break this level in time. If you're not in the trade, try to enter at market with a 3 times the daily ATR stop loss, and add the remaining half position if we get a retracement next week (unlikely). This type of trend reversal trade, usually involves no retracement, and people eager to 'long the trendline break retest' get left behind eating the pioneer's dust. So, be brave and buy strength!
