Technical Analysis

<ul>
<li>Bias/Focus: AUD short (and NZD), Euro maturing wedge. USD/JPY long from 130 (policy push). USD/ZAR bull. Sterling long from 1.2450 gaining traction.</li>
<li>Commodity currencies and the USD/JPY have been our USD positive bets hidden within the DXY slide. Within EM, USD/ZAR is out top USD long theme. </li>
<li>The USD/KRW has been the weak performer within Asia outlined some fairly clear USD divisions. USD/SGD macro support at 1.32/31 is compelling.</li>

Financial markets are dominated by uncertainties being created by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the potential economic impact of the Fed raising rates and unwinding its balance sheet simultaneously.
The volatility and level of rates in EM are rising with the US but with differentiation: Asia and Central Europe are underperforming, while Latin America is outperforming.
The possibility of binary economic scenarios playing out as a result of the current uncertainties makes me pause for more clarity before making new trade recommendations.

Alpha Bites: Performance Summary of Trade Recommendations in FX and Rates – March 2022

<ul>
<li>The shekel has been the worst-performing currency in EM since late November with potential Fed hikes and hedging activity related to the sell-off in international stock markets weighing on it.</li>
<li>The shekel should resume its appreciating trend as the central bank would likely raise rates this year with inflation making a comeback and the balance of payment position remaining strong.</li>
<li>I recommend funding the shekel in British pounds to minimize exposure to the dollar, which continues to be volatile, and the BoE is further along in its rate-hiking cycle.</li>

I recommend funding the shekel in British pounds to minimize exposure to the dollar, which continues to be volatile, and the BoE is further along in its rate-hiking cycle.
