USDNOK looks high vs. crude oilIf you are bullish crude, a good way to express it right now is via short USDNOK. Following the VAR shock in early November, hedge funds have been forced to reduce popular positions (including NOK, which was a favored reflation trade). I think the VAR shock pain is mostly done and USDNOK and EURNOK should revert back towards the lows. Both pairs look around 1% too high to me based on simple fair value vs. oil. S&P 500 and gold at the highs add to the logic.

ridethepig | RUB Market Commentary 2020.03.02Fed rate cuts taking full control of the FX board as virus disruptions start to fade - it's time to go shopping in G10 and EM FX and the intervention policies will provide some USD relief. Here looking for a rebound into previous ranges in USDRUB as a pro-cyclical currency.
A test of the previous range we were trading looks around the corner:
The spread of the virus is naturally impacting global growth, and tipping OPEC towards intervention in Oil as well as a number of CBs. Markets now price Fed to cut 75bps by June - similar story in Australia with RBA, UK with BOE and BOC in Canada. Tracking closely for risk to find a temporary floor this week.
