OCBC 策略师 Sim Moh Siong 与 Christopher Wong 表示,亚洲外汇可能回吐上周五较晚时段的涨幅。原因是伊朗再次声称要关闭霍尔木兹海峡(Strait of Hormuz,波斯湾通往外海的关键航道;一旦受阻,全球原油运输会受影响),同时美元可能因“避险需求”(safe-haven demand,市场担心风险时转向更被视为安全的资产与货币)而走强。
在这样的环境下,低贝塔的新元与人民币相对稳定,但仍会被美元整体走强压制,美元指数(Dollar Index,DXY,用一篮子主要货币衡量美元强弱的指标)维持在106以上。此环境支持“衍生品”(derivatives,价值来自标的资产如汇率、利率与商品的金融工具)策略,例如“相对价值交易”(relative value trades,同时买入较强者、卖出较弱者,赚取两者表现差距):做多新元、做空更脆弱的韩元。这种做法有助把握高与低贝塔货币之间的表现差。
