0 8

J.P. Morgan: “We estimate that FX prices in 60-70% chance of a Trump victory. G10 (The ten major forex currencies) election volumes have rebounded pre-election, hitting new cycle highs in many cases while a Harris victory with Split Congress sees USD weaker.
Positioning to witness USD upside, and a probability for USD shorts in a Harris victory.
Macro Trade Recommendations: (long JPY vs CAD, EUR) (short EUR/USD).
Technicals: EUR/USD rebounds from 2023-2024 trend line support. EUR/GBP attempts to base above longer-term range support.
USD/JPY rally stalls near the 153.505 Jul 61.8% retrace and Aug-Sep pattern objective.

Emerging Markets FX: MW EM FX keeping positions light. Our favourite election hedges are short CNH, PLN and newly CZK in options. Stay long TRY and ILS, which we expect to be resilient.

FX Derivatives: Election premium rebounded to a cycle high. Scandies and Antipodeans lag. Premium roll-off should see 1M vol down by about 1.5vol pts. Trump post-election win trade: topside USD and vol ownership. For Harris: USD skew harvesting in CNH, SEK or NOK, and high-beta G10 USD-puts vs low-beta USD-puts RV.
