BNP Paribas STEER™ Summary (06 May 2014)
Core Content
BNP Paribas STEER™ is a quantitative model used to identify over- or under-valuation of currency pairs relative to their fair value, based on statistical deviations measured by z-scores. The model provides trading signals and targets for potential trades, but it also includes a 'cointegration filter' that assesses the model's forecasting power before issuing trade recommendations.
Key Views
- USD remains undervalued against the EUR and GBP.
- AUDUSD is overvalued, but the trading rule closed its short position for a 0.35% profit.
- USDTWD has a bullish signal, suggesting potential for a rise.
- USDBRL is overvalued, with a bearish signal issued, targeting a decline.
- EURRON is undervalued, and a long signal has been re-entered.
- USDRUB appears cheap, but the 'cointegration filter' prevents trading.
