Market Situation and events ahead:
A new macro driver has come into scene (Coronavirus) with most impact on AUD and other China periheral currencies rather than EURUSD.We establish this strategy with the aim of cutting in halve the cost of a forward for this month in a conservative exercise, as we still do not know if thhe current environment may go beyond contained expectations and split over into currenciy markets, thus raising volatility.
We will folloow markets closely to see potential evolution of the main dirver of markets, to make a posiiton if needed to increase the alpah, and in absence of monetary meetings, and with macro data in both sides of the pound without major disruptions.
