Subject: Key themes & trades
Hi Tazia,
Here are some trades we're thinking about that Nav suggested you may wish to
highlight to Jeffrey Epstein.
Key themes: Divergence in monetary policy between the Fed & Bank of England
EFTA01471167
on the one hand and ECB & Bank of Japan on the other
Continued capital inflows into Asian countries where financial conditions
are easing (eg, Japan) and/or structural reforms are being implemented (eg,
India)
US recovery - buying into dips as US anchors global growth
EURUSD continues to break down -- if you're looking to reload:
Trade: A ly EURUSD 1.25 put financed by selling the 1.30 call has zero net
premium (spot ref: 1.2740)
EURUSD has broken below 1.28 during the last 24 hours
With US data continuing to firm, the market is recalibrating when the Fed
will deliver hikes - earlier rather than later
On the other hand, given the ECB's stated determination to spur inflation in
the Eurozone, full-blown QE looks likely next year
This chart shows the correlation between EURUSD and the spread between EUR
and US interest rates (yellow)

EURINR lower as a combined play on continued inflows into India and ECB
activism:
Trade: A 6m EURINR 78 put (at-the-money spot) financed by selling the 83
call has zero net premium (spot ref: 77.95, forward: 80.50)
With the Modi government showing decisiveness in pursuing its reform agenda,
capital inflows into India look likely to continue for the foreseeable future
Indian equities are at all-time highs and the entry point is not very
attractive
The rupee also embeds carry of 7%/year, cheapening risk reversals

S&P 500 Put options dislocated relative to Call options
Trade: A 6m 110% calls financed by 6m 90% puts in a ratio of 4 calls bought
per put sold has zero net premium (spot ref: 1998)
Very high demand for SPX puts makes it possible to buy multiple calls for
each call sold
Across major indices, the ratio of calls-to-puts is highest for US equities
EFTA01471168
Skew (y-axis) vs ATM vol (x-axis) is stretched
<4.4B90.gif>

Renewed interest in Japanese equities ahead of GPIF re-allocation and policy
momentum
Trade: A 6m 110% call financed by 6m 90% put has zero net premium (spot ref:
16374)
Investors are waiting for the giant Japanese pension funds to re-allocate
away from bonds to equities
The Abe administration is looking for additional ways to stimulate the
economy
Nikkei vols are high and skew is poor -- no easy way to get into the trade,
best to do calls vs puts 1-to-1 struck around major technical levels
