Investment Rationale
Equity markets have paused on the back of last week’s rally and is starting to doubt the Fed pause as 10-year yields started to climb again after dipping below 4.5%. I am still in the camp that this rally provides a favorable risk/reward entry for bearish exposure. Banks are particularly exposed in this interest rate environment and will likely continue to underperform if yields continue to rise and steepen. Recently Royal Bank of Canada broke below a key level of support at $86 and now has rallied back up to retest it as resistance. This is an ideal entry for short exposure where the risk/reward is extremely favorable. I’m looking to sell the RY Dec $85/90 Call Vertical @ $1.87 Credit. With a hypothetical portfolio of $100,000, I recommend risking 2% of the portfolio’s value which is 6 Contracts for a risk of $1,878. We will set a stop loss on the put spread at around 100% of the premium collected @ $3.75 Debit.
