t: Spot FX is currently 1.095. [I]
Classification: For internal use only
I like USDCAD call options to position for further weakness in CAD. Spot FX
is currently 1.095.
Over the course of the past week the interest rate curve has started pricing
in a small amount of rate cuts - this development is significant and clearly
a beginning of a pain trade. I believe it can go further. Lower CAD rates
from here will drive USD CAD higher.

The limited downside play I like best in USDCAD is buying a 3month expiry
1.10 / 1.13 call spread on USDCAD but where the short 1.13 call position
only exists (knocks-in) if USD trades at 1.17 trades in the market before
the option expires, otherwise the option payoff is the same as a 1.10 call
option.
It costs 1% of USD notional. I believe the buyer is well compensated for the
knock-in component.
If USDCAD rises to 1.15 the option payout is S big figures. If 1.17 trades
before expiry the payout is limited to 3 big figures.
Max loss is premium paid.
We can price other structures to fit the risk tolerance (higher or lower) of
clients - let us know
Key Macro Highlights
The economy clearly lags the US. Dec13 unemployment unexpectedly
rose last Friday to 7.2%
South of the border demand for USDCAD is declining as the uS heads
towards energy independence
Low inflation and weak exports are likely to preclude any rate
hikes in 2014
