DailyPlay – Closing Trade (KR) – June 13, 2024

Investment Rationale

Yesterday’s economic data was a roller coaster for investors. CPI came in cooler than expected and bonds and equities rallied across the board with sizable gains, however the Fed struck a hawkish tone and suggested only 1 rate cut was expected for 2024. Bond and equity markets largely shrugged off the Fed’s rhetoric and continues to price in 2 cuts for 2024. This becomes challenging as it’s difficult to fight the clear bullish trend, but we’re fighting the Fed. We’re going to close out our KR short position for a profit and reducing our short exposure significantly before the end of this week, given the strength of the market.
