Options, Money <strong>Market</strong> and Bond Trades – Tactical & Strategic Trades<br />
This page summarises our main tactical (T) and strategic (S) trades. The former focus on short-term horizons (a few weeks)<br />
allowing one to play any near-term corrections within a defined trend, while the latter rely on a medium-term assumed trend.<br />
For each trade we provide the expected target and the recommended stop loss.<br />

Closed Strategies<br />
Sovereign CDS Buy SovX 5Y<br />
Trade closed (10/2). PnL: EUR +76k.<br />
Existing Strategies<br />
Yield Curves<br />
USD Butterfly Pay USD 2M-fwd 2y3y5y<br />
Near low end of historical range. We are positioned for a Fed on hold and this is an<br />
ideal hedge. Negative carry/roll is less in forward than spot.<br />
Money <strong>Market</strong>s<br />
Euribor Spread Buy ERM0M1<br />
Front curve on tech support and unch ECB with Eonia normalisation now fully priced<br />
in.<br />
Euribor Basis Buy ERM0 Basis<br />
OIS/Bor spreads are at very interesting entry levels compared to the evolution of<br />
CDS and other risk indicators. Moreover, ECB liquidity volatility should be<br />
supportive of this strategy.<br />
Eurodollar Spread Buy EDZ0Z1<br />
The hawkish FOMC statement should lead to higher rate hike expectations, and the<br />
recent flattening in whites/reds on flight-to-quality concerns provides a decent entry<br />
point. Spread rolls up from Dec/Dec to Sep/Sep.<br />

Bund Spread Buy RXH0 Mar 122/12150 PS<br />
10.0 25.0 0.0 8.5<br />
Monthly option strategy playing a pull-back to the lows of the MT channel. Also,<br />
12350 strong resistance area should hold.<br />
(T)<br />
(03-Feb)<br />
Euribor Fly Buy ERU0 9862/75/87 P<br />
1.5 12.5 0.0 1.5<br />
Cheap downside strategy, playing the normalisation of Eonia. The position<br />
(S)<br />
(13-Jan)<br />
complements the upside fly (no-normalisation strategy).<br />
Euribor Fly Buy ERU0 9912/25/37 C<br />
1.5 12.5 0.0 1.5<br />
Upside protection in case of liquidity spill-over post June. Rolldown trade.<br />
(S)<br />
(12-Jan)<br />
Eurodollar Call Buy EDU0 99.25 C<br />
29.0 50.0 0.0 23.5<br />
Expectations for a Fed on hold make rolldown strategies attractive. In this case, the (T)<br />
(08-Jan)<br />
theta loss over 3m or 6m is more than compensated by the rolldown in an<br />
unchanged scenario.<br />
Sterling Fly Buy L Z0 9900/25/50 C<br />
6.0 25.0 0.0 3.5<br />
Rolldown strategy for unchanged MPC thru 2010.<br />
