The Playbook for Risk On and Risk Off Trading

in Trading Tips

This AM is fairly light on the European data slate, so US-China trade negotiations will remain the market’s focus for the near term. In the last few weeks, the market has been shifting between risk ‘on’ and risk ‘off’ markets depending on the current state of relationships between China and the US. So, here is what to look for regarding changing risk sentiment:

  • Risk-on sentiment: AUD, NZD, CAD strength, and JPY, CHF weakness
  • Risk-off sentiment: JPY, CHF strength, and AUD, NZD, CAD weakness

High-Risk Investment Warning: Contracts for Difference (‘CFDs’) are complex financial products that are traded on margin. Trading CFDs carries a high degree of risk. It is possible to lose all your capital. These products may not be suitable for everyone and you should ensure that you understand the risks involved. Seek independent expert advice if necessary and speculate only with funds that you can afford to lose. Please think carefully whether such trading suits you, taking into consideration all the relevant circumstances as well as your personal resources. We do not recommend clients posting their entire account balance to meet margin requirements. Clients can minimise their level of exposure by requesting a change in leverage limit. For more information please refer to HYCM’s Risk Disclosure.
