C.O.B.R.A. System Sell Alert: Exit Your Euro Calls

Dan Amoss
By Dan AmossPosted July 30, 2021

FXE was a positive reversion trade on July 1. At the time, its 50-day CCI reading was low enough that our system flagged it as oversold. Nearly a month later, the oversold condition has been resolved by a sideways movement, not a strong rally. Despite burning a month of time, we can exit the position now at only a small loss.

There is potential stress in China’s all-important property markets which may take months to resolve. For now, FXI is oversold and could rally so now is a good time to take profits. Also, negative surprises in Chinese economic data and concerns about tapering of Fed QE have depressed commodity prices and weighed on FXA. FXA is oversold as well, so now is a good time to take profits.

C.O.B.R.A. System Sell Alert: Take Gains on UUP Calls

Jim’s analysis concluded that there is a much higher chance of UUP rising than falling in August and early September. UUP has very low volatility, so this was a lower-profit-percent trade than our typical trade. However, it had lower risk. We have a decent gain on a low-risk trade after holding for a month, so let’s take profits.

C.O.B.R.A. System Buy Alert: 50% Upside On British Pound Calls

Jim Rickards
By Jim RickardsPosted September 14, 2021

The relationship between policy factors and capital flows is somewhat circular. Good polices and resulting good growth will act as a magnet for inbound capital. That capital will then finance and power the hope for growth. Using the C.O.B.R.A. system, Jim and Dan recommend a long position in FXB as investors see the UK as the only major developed economy that is trying to manage its budget and the sterling will be rewarded with capital inflows.

C.O.B.R.A. System Buy Alert: Another 50% Opportunity in FXI Puts

Ideological and security-related stock headwinds will be exacerbated by a coming currency war as China cheapens the USD/CNY cross-rate by devaluing CNY to boost its slowing economy. The combination of tech wars and currency wars is a recipe for a drawdown in the FXI price. Using the C.O.B.R.A. system, Jim and Dan recommend a short position in FXI as an expected decline in the CNY will set up a plnnge in the next few months for this heavily-weighted ETF.

C.O.B.R.A. System Buy Alert: 50-100% Upside in Australian Dollar Puts

Australia is being hit with a triple-whammy from slow growth in the U.S., slow growth in China, and a new COVID outbreak in Sydney. When your hands are tied on fiscal and monetary policy, the easiest way to boost your economy is by cheapening your currency. Using the C.O.B.R.A. system, Jim and Dan recommend a short position in FXA as an expected decline in the AUD will benefit this trade.
