Trade Ideas

Tom B. Head of Research, Galaxy Digital 21:47

Reduce North Asia equity exposure

We have been overweight North Asia (Taiwan, Korea, Japan) due to earnings outlook and terms of trade improvements, but we are reducing that exposure because pricing and positioning have shifted materially, making risk-reward less balanced. The rally feels frothy and we are taking profits.

Tom B. Head of Research, Galaxy Digital 22:38

Long French equities

We have been buying French equities because the index is cyclically exposed and includes large energy producers. We see a bottom there, darkest before the dawn. It is attractively priced from a top-down macro perspective.

Mark Cudmore Executive Editor, Bloomberg Live / Macro Strategist 25:35

Short U.S. Treasuries

We have seen a lot of weakness in bonds already, but there is a lot more to come over the coming months. The Strait of Hormuz disruption is causing severe supply chain disruption feeding into inflation, and the market is not fully registering how bad this could be. The 10-year yield will continue to rise.

Paul Jackson Head of Crypto, Blockworks 53:40

Long European equities

The European equity market is still relatively attractive from a valuation perspective given defense spending, infrastructure spending in Germany, and the European economy beating expectations. It has been an underperformer and offers value.

Paul Jackson Head of Crypto, Blockworks 57:04

Long U.K. gilts at 5%

5% gilt yield looks quite attractive. I would step in and take advantage of that. The U.K. economy is performing well, and the inflation spike from oil may fade, making long gilts a good trade at these levels.
