Rates:
Pay 5y5y forward 3s6s basis, entry: 11.3bp, target: 13.3bp, stop: 10.3bp (10 Aug 2016)
* Bank hedging flows on the back of sharp pickup in corp issuance suggests the widening of 3s6s basis is structural. It also hedges any aggressive ECB easing in Sep
Buy 6m30y ATMF+25bp/+50bp/+75 bp payer ladders for a net premium of €950k on €100m notional (or 3.3 bp) (20 Jul 2016)
*30y rates are at risk from the ECB tomorrow, especially if tweaks to the capital key are flagged already
Buy 3-year 3.5% ZC RPI inflation caps, entry: 26.0c; current 37.5c (21 Oct 2015)
*Sterling vulnerability due to the UK's large current account deficit makes being long inflation volatility attractive. Pairing this trade with a long-standing recommendation to be short 30-year UK breakevens is an attractive way to finance it.

FX:
Short EURUSD 6m 1.0740/1.1500 risk reversal, cost: 0 (off 1.1077 spot)(6 Jul 2016)
*EUR downside risks are underpriced. We think the post-referendum risk rally is overdone and could be at risk. Potential shocks include Brexit uncertainty, turbulence in Italy's banking sector, and political paralysis in Spain.
Closed 1.0840 (1 Jul 2016): Buy 3m EURCHF 1.08/1.03 put spread for 0.76% Eur (7.75/8.05 ag 10.45 vols off 1.0930 spot)(1 Apr 2016)
