Trade tips: On trading perspective, at spot reference: 0.7233 levels, using any abrupt upswing, it is advisable to execute tunnel spread strategy with upper striking options at 0.7270 and lower short lower strikes at 0.7204 levels, the strategy is likely to fetch leveraged yields as long as underlying spot FX keeps dipping but remains well above lower strikes on the expiration.
Alternatively, on hedging grounds, we advocate shorting futures contracts of mid-month tenors as the underlying spot FX likely to target southwards below 0.70 levels in the medium run.
