Bearish scenarios:
1) The unemployment rate moves back towards 6%, forcing the RBA to respond more aggressively to weak inflation
2) China data weaken materially.
Bullish scenarios:
1) China eases policy and commodities rebound
2) The RBA adopts a more hawkish tone to its communications. Yesterday, the RBA minutes are released and will provide the Board’s opinion on the key topics of housing, jobs, and the consumer.
So far, RBA outlook seems to be on hold for some time which is anchoring short-maturity interest rates and should keep 3yr swap rates in a 1.8% to 2.3% range, as long as core inflation remains below 2%.

Hedging framework (AUDJPY):
On hedging grounds, risk-averse traders, capitalizing ongoing rallies of the underlying spot FX, we advocate snapping rallies and buying a 6M 84.250 AUDJPY one-touch put. This position likely to fetch exponential yields in payoff structure as the underlying spot FX keeps dipping (refer nutshell evidencing payoff structure).
Please be noted that the 6m ATM IVs of this pair is trading at 9.39%. While OTM put is priced at 6.2% of NPV which is in sync with IVs of this tenor and reasonable contemplating above bearish risk factors.
Those who wish to reduce the cost of hedging; we advocate buying 4M sell 2M AUDJPY put spreads at 86/90.159 strike in 1:0.753 notionals.
Vols of 2m tenors are at the lower side which is conducive for option writers, hence, we’ve chosen ITM striking put as we agree with JP Morgan’s projections.
