Stop loss/profit protection hit in EUR/HUF On 12 May 2016, we put our long HUF short EUR in place as FX high conviction view (for more details please refer to our FX Convictions – Add HUF long versus EUR). Today our stop loss/profit protection in EUR/HUF at 310 was hit, resulting in a total return of close to 1.6%.

We keep our long USD versus JPY Meanwhile, we keep in place our long USD versus JPY. Since initiation on 23 August, our long USD versus JPY call has yielded more than 3% as financial markets have started to price in that Fed rate may hike sooner rather than later. Ahead of the US nonfarm payrolls this Friday, we expect financial markets to buy the dollar on any dips.
