We have been bullish/long the DXY from 89 and more recently from 92 with a target at 94.00-50 and the level to sell the USD and turn short the greenback. Early USD shorts touted in CAD and GBP.US 10yr rise to 1.50% call to support a final USD push into our sell zone. USD will also find a final bid on a secondary pullback in the US equity cycle (EM and Asia FX) in October.We see synergy with yield near 1.50% and a DXY top near 94.DXY bear divergence is maturing into a final drive to the 94+ zone. We want to sell the next USD push/new high.

Cross Asset Strategy

Recent indications of a weaker USD and the relative / renewed stability in many Equity Indices seem to provide an opportunity in South Korea's Kospi IndexIf the signs of USD weakness are correct in a generally low volatile environment, South Korea's Won starts to look attractive. Furthermore the Kospi Index itself looks more stable after testing decent levels around 3,050.Combining this, there is a clear range on the Kospi in USD terms which now gives the indication of a turn back up from the base of the year's range and points tothe possibility of a rally to the tune of some 8%
