UUP Macro Trend Confirmation Strategy
Created
Thesis
The Fed's unanimous hike and warnings from former officials like Richard Clarida that this may not be a 'one and done' mean US interest rates are set to stay above UK rates, which sit frozen at 3.75%. That gap makes dollars more attractive to hold than pounds, a classic pressure that pushes the pound down against the dollar. On top of that, the Bank of England's bond-selling plans are seen as a bigger worry for UK markets than its rate decision, adding its own downward pressure on the pound. A short pound-versus-dollar position captures both pressures at once.
