NZDUSD: Potential turning pointNZDUSD is at a good support zone, and could turn up from here, following gold, which is very oversold. I'm waiting to enter long here, I'd like to see how today's bar acts, to buy into strength going forward. You shouldn't rush into gold or NZDUSD longs right away, but, should monitor how today behaves first. The negative news surrounding New Zealand serve as an extra ingredient, to give us enough bearish sentiment for a bottom in here: www.bloomberg.com Live cattle and milk futures remain bullish, and gold might be about to bottom after stopping out longs and making perma-bulls give up, hopefully, very soon. If you want to learn more about the trade entry, and risk management, contact me via pm. Good luck, Ivan Labrie.

NZDUSD: Weekly buy setupNZDUSD has a nice swing trade opportunity that can evolve into a continuation of the weekly uptrend. Buy a break of the last session's high, stop at the low. I copied a previous rally, after the weekly got oversold to get an idea of what to expect. The price tested Brexit support as well as an inside trendline in the weekly, so I think it's highly probable to get a sharp rally out of this zone, specially with China coming back from a week of public holidays, which will bring fresh demand for commodities, boosting asian currencies and metals. Good luck, Ivan Labrie.

RBNZ MONETARY POLICY STATEMENT - GBPNZD TACTICAL LONG (NZDUSD)*RBNZ not adding much new in their September statement, and imo, Gov Wheelers speech highlighting the issues with trying to control a ccy with the cash rate makes the persistent worries regarding kiwi/ nzd strength less of a dovish factor than it may appear. Nonetheless, the statement on the margin was neutral, with perhaps the pressure for a lower kiwi and inflation prints putting it on the dovish side. Positioning wise, I am tactically long GBPNZD and EURNZD for another day or two (depending on closes - see attached).. this leaning dovish statement may ease these positions into the money but it isnt the key driver I was looking for but ill take any kiwi weakness we can get here. One onus on short kiwi is the tail off in US STIR which may see some more AUDNZD selling (kiwi buying) as USD rates become less attractive - although we have infact seen December fed funds trade flat on the day (though November did soften from 20 to 14%) so this yield seeking cross selling may be limited and under some sort of control for now which should enable these tactical kiwi shorts some running room. RBNZ: MONETARY POLICY TO REMAIN ACCOMODATIVE - A Decline In THE NZ$ Is Needed - Further Easing Will Be Required - Weak Global Growth And Low Rates Putting Upward Pressure On NZ$ - High NZ$ Makes It Difficult To Reach Inflation Target - Further Declines In Inflation Expectations Still A Risk - Domestic Growth Supported By Strong Migration, Tourism, Construction - Strong Immigration Is Limiting Wages Pressure - Watching Data Closely - Volatility In Global Markets Has Increased - House Price Inflation Remains Excessive, Macropru Having Moderating Influence - Outlook For Global Growth, Commodity Prices Remains Uncertain - Annual CPI Inflation Expected To Weaken In Sept Quarter Full statement is here - www.rbnz.govt.nz WESTPAC ON THE RBNZ: -This morning the RBNZ left the OCR unchanged at 2.00%, as was widely expected. -Much of the language from the August Monetary Policy Statement was retained in today's release, most likely deliberately so. The last paragraph repeated that "further policy easing will be required to ensure that future inflation settles near the middle of the target range" (our emphasis - "will" is about as strong as the RBNZ's language gets). -The statement acknowledged the economic developments since August, without altering its bottom-line assessment on inflation. Dairy prices have risen strongly, although there is still a great deal of uncertainty around the full season outcome; the NZ dollar has risen more than expected; strong GDP growth was broadly in line with expectations; and there are early signs that the latest round of lending restrictions is having a dampening effect on the housing market. -The RBNZ again noted that annual inflation is expected to rise from the end of this year, as some temporary factors drop out. Nevertheless, the RBNZ still faces an uncomfortably slow return to the inflation target, with the risk that persistently low inflation leads to a further decline in wage and price expectations. -In August the RBNZ was fairly explicit that its interest rate projections split the difference between one and two more OCR cuts in coming months, with the first cut most likely to be at the November MPS. -We suspect that the RBNZ is still committed to at least the first of those rate cuts. Any change in the language of today's statement could have given the false impression that the RBNZ was wavering on further easing.

SHORT GBPNZD: CARRY TO OUTPERFORM; LOWER BOE EQUILIBRIUM?GBPNZD: 1. Wanted to repost my view on GBPNZD - remain short on rallies here into 1.82 with a 1.80, 200pip target. 2. This whole week weve remained strictly rangebound and sterling kiwi has paid every time (about 10) on shorts at the 1.810 level so i will continue this view at 1.82 given: 1) NZD carry continues to be the highest in G10 so Kiwi demand will likely hold up for the foreseeable future especially on BOE fwd guidance - though UK data outperforming in the near term could continue to put sterling topside pressure though the long game i dont expect this to last. 2) Sterling looks overbrought on the daily at these levels some 400pips higher than BOE monpol lows, here imo is the true home for GBPNZD given I expected the lean for further easing to be on BOE vs RBNZ as kiwi house prices will continue to prevent aggressive easing (as Wheeler pointed out earlier this week - rapid easing isnt going to happen). Risks: 1. Technically, on sterling demand I think risk is to the 1.83 resistance level, I dont think sterlingkiwi has much more given the amount of resistance we have found down at 1.81. 2. AUDNZD Re-balancing - there looks like there may be a AUDNZD rebalancing higher after 2wks of selling, this could shift GBPAUD aussie shorts into kiwi shorts vs GBP, though the AUDNZD movement higher looks to be struggling to gain traction given the differential of 50bps remains the bottom line, and weak fwd guidance from both RBA and RBNZ makes it difficult to differerentite the two (not to mention aussie data has been less firm in recent times vs kiwi). 3. UK PMI - UK PMIs next week, if outperforming will likely give GBP bulls more fuel to own sterling, given it is economic revisions recently higher that has been the fundamental reason for sterling topside - so further leading indications from PMIs could continue this trend, though given the move already higher, 1.82 could be the ceiling here (though watch out for a AUDNZD equilibrium higher which would make gbpnzd move through 1.82). If the PMIs were to show any figure above 50, expect an aggressive 300pip+ movement higher. 4. USD hiking risk - USD strength will cause NZD yield seeking supply as investors shift into USD markets instead.. as we have seen today with the spike higher, continued USD rate performance will drag on NZD longs in the medium term.

SELL GBPAUD: STRAT TRADE - 5 Days up P=98.78% 6TH DAY LOWERGBPAUD: 1. SterlingKiwi has been aggressively bid higher for the last 5-days on the back of sterling data outperforming last week, broad aussie weakness and a general recovery from lows. 2. Statistically, after analysing the last 16.5yrs of data it shows the probability of a 6th day or more of buying is 1.22% which means there is an implied 98.78% chance that we move higher today - I like these odds so will add a short here. - If we were to see another day of buying, a 6th day, then the probability of a 7th day is even better on the sell-side odds of 99.45% so i will add to shorts if this is the case - the max number of buying days in GBPAUD has been 10 once and 9 3 times. 3. Plus aussie 30 bill rates firmed up on monday implying only a 5% chance of a september cut down from 8% of the past week, and sterling OIS rates came off from fridays rally after the market decided to fade last weeks data. - Also we have found some technical price resistance at the 1.72 handle so being short here makes sense. Trading strategy - GBPAUD Sell @1.721: 1. Short GBPAUD pretty much at market TP should be 100pips lower at the 1.711 level. 2. Also check my previous post of short gbpnzd into rallies at 1.81 and GBPUSD into 1.315-32

AUDNZD - STAT TRADE: BUY AFTER A 5TH DAY OF SELLING; P=98.7%AUDNZD: 1. Aussie kiwi has been aggressively sold lower for the last 8/9 days, with the bullday being only 4pips higher (pretty much 9 straight days of selling) and most recently the last 4 days have been pure consecutive closes lower. 2. Statistically, after analysing the last 16.5yrs of data it shows the probability of a 5th day or more of selling is 3% which means there is an implied 32/33/ 97% chance that we move higher on the next day, these odds arent too great so I suggust NOT buying on open, instead lets wait and see if we can get another close lower on the daily that takes us into the strong support zone at 1.041/3 - then this will mean buying the probability that a 6th or more day of selling occurs which is 1.3% or an implied chance of 98.7% or 99/100 that the price will go up on the 6th day Trading strategy - AUDNZD wait for monday to close lower at 1.041/3 and buy tuesdays open: 1. I advise buying aussie here after the 5th day lower as the 6th day has a 98.7% chance of moving higher, after a 5th day of selling, the odds are good and I will take part in this.

SHORT GBPNZD ON RALLIES INTO 1.81: RBNZ GOV WHEELER HIGHLIGHTSThe market took RBNZ Wheelers comments as largely hawkish before fading off to neutral after interestingly Wheeler mentioned that the current market rate tracker has 35bps of cuts priced in - illuding to 2 more cuts being likely though he failed to mention how realistic this expectation is past what future data holds. I like being short GBPNZD into 1.81 rallies with 100pips tp at 1.80 - the market has remained somewhat capped/ rangebound since the RBNZs decision on the 10th between 1.81-79 and 1.81 has held on a number of occasions on the m30 (about 20) so shorts here look firm and i think will continue to be, especially since the GBP rates spike on friday looks to be tamed with the 1.81 and i expect this to fade throughout th eweek giving more reason than not for gbp downside - especially vs NZD since there isnt any data to get in the way this week and last weeks above average employment report was the last say (along with Wheelers comments now). On a side note and for similar reasons I like to be short gbpusd as Fed Yellens speech is largely likely to be skewed to the hawkish side given the other speakers last week trying to reaffirm the Feds control - though durable and GDP data remains the biggest risk imo - a miss here and cable will likely trade into the 1.33 handle, though i would still maintain my fade on rallies and sell here. RBNZ Gov Wheeler Speech Highlights: -RBNZ GOVERNOR WHEELER SAYS MONETARY POLICY FACES CHALLENGES IN TURBULENT TIMES -RBNZ GOVERNOR WHEELER SAYS SCOPE OF MONETARY POLICY CONSTRAINED BY DEVELOPMENTS OUTSIDE COUNTRIES' BORDERS -RBNZ GOVERNOR WHEELER SAYS CURRENT INTEREST RATE TRACK BALANCES A NUMBER OF RISKS WHILE GENERATING INCREASE IN CPI INFLATION -RBNZ GOVERNOR WHEELER SAYS TWI FX RATE ALREADY AT HIGH LEVEL -RBNZ GOVERNOR WHEELER SAYS FLEXIBLE INFLATION TARGETTING MOST APPROPRIATE FRAMEWORK -RBNZ GOVERNOR WHEELER SAYS CURRENT INTEREST RATE TRACK INVOLVES EXPECTED 35 BASIS POINTS OF CUTS

SELL EUR V AUD, USD, NZD: ECB MONETARY POLICY MINUTES HIGHLIGHTSAfter 5days higher EUR$ Statistically is a 80th percentile sell opportunity - the monetary policy minutes were dovish on the margin reiterating and stressing the ECB's willingness to "Boost stimulus again if needed". This should put downside pressure on EUR given september meeting is coming up (when most likely to add to easing). EURAUD and EURUSD shorts here look technically the best and fundamentally with EURNZD also possible and an alternative for EURAUD (depends on your preference - higher differential = NZD; weaker monpol fwd guidance/ future rate stability = AUD). ECB Monetary Policy Minutes Highlights: ECB SAYS "WIDE AGREEMENT" AMONG COUNCIL MEMBERS NOT TO DISCUSS ANY MONETARY POLICY REACTION AT JULY 20-21 MEETING -Brexit Vote Created New Headwinds for Eurozone Economy, Heightened Uncertainty-ECB Minutes -Brexit Vote Could Affect Global Economy in Unpredictable Ways-ECB Minutes -Policymakers Stressed ECB's Readiness to Boost Stimulus Again if Needed-ECB Minutes -Policymakers Thought it Was Too Soon to Discuss Fresh Stimulus-ECB Minutes -ECB Saw Market Impact of Brexit Vote "Contained"-ECB Minutes -Policymakers Stressed Need To Safeguard Transmission of ECB Policies Through Banks-ECB Minutes -Policymakers Noted Apparent Link Between Bank Stock Prices, Bank Lending Volumes-ECB Minutes ECB ACCOUNT OF MONPOL MEETING -Called For Measures To Address Weak Profitability -No Clear Upward Trend In Inflation Path -Premature To Discuss Fresh Stimulus ECB'S PRAET: CALLS WEAK PRICES AN 'ONGOING SOURCE' OF CONCERN

SHORT GBP VS AUD, NZD, USD: FADE RALLIES - RETAIL SALES BEATRetail sales outperformed on all cylinders today and GBP as expected has rallied into nice shortable levels now - with brexit uncertainty likely to continue to way and continued dovish BOE support also equally weighing on sterling in the future. My preferred shorts immediately are vs USD as i expected Fed Dudley and Williams (speaking today) to talk the extremely battered USD higher (as they did earlier in the week). I also like medium-term (end of next week shorts) vs NZD and AUD as GBPAUD and GBPNZD come into nice resistance at 1.81 and 1.713, after closing two days with both aussie and kiwi weaker i think this third day higher will be the last and thus a high probability opportunity to short GBP - I also like these AUD and NZD longs given the above average employment reports from both NZD and AUD this week which seemingly are yet to be priced vs GBP. Further the medium term view vs AUD and NZD of short GBP derives from the trend - where you can see GBP has lost 1000pips post brexit as the implied interest rate differential between GBP and AUD/ NZD has increased and is projected to increase as BOE ease rates and AUD and NZD rates are likely to remain stable (especially AUD given the SOMP and RBA minutes). Whilst NZD rates remain at the pinnacle of 2% so even if the RBNZ does ease as expected the differential between sterling and kiwi will remain the highest for yield seekers for the next 50bps lower, which is likely to be neutral. Trading strategy - Short GBP vs AUD, NZD, GBP in proportionate SMALL lots and add if higher: 1. Short GBPUSD @1.317 - 1.305/8TP1 1.290TP2 2. Short GBPAUD @1.713 - 1.693TP1 1.673TP2 3. Short GBPNZD @1.81 - 1.7910TP1 1.777TP2 I also like this strategy given the 3-way exposure net hedges any individual cross risk e.g. aud nzd or usd.
