Trade Idea

Trade Idea : 12Mos AUD Ratio Backspread
The LT AUD momentum chart has taken out the bottom end of the channel, while at the same time the AUD risk reversal curve has not fully priced in the potential for AUD weakness. 
While you have to pay away approx. 1% in vol terms to put this trade on in our view the AUD risk reversal curve is too cheap.


 
Based on a spot of 7530 we would like to :
Sell 1X  12M AUD put ATM Forward at a strike of 7600 =50 delta for a premium of approx. 3.76% 
Buy 2.5X AUD put 25 delta strike 7100 for approx. 1.49% 
___________________________________________________
Net upfront cost = approx. 0 


On initiation you will be approx. 12.5% net deltas short AUD long USD. So for example, if you did this on 100K AUD vs 250K AUD the net position would only be AUD12,500 AUD short.
