Fxwirepro: What’s Driving Dovish Tone in Momentary Policy Season and Tepid Vxy?
Even with two major central bank meetings in the coming two weeks, broad FX markets look likely to continue the drift into early summer markets. The weak payrolls report will reinforce expectations that June’s Fed hike will be a “dovish” one, while EUR indicators suggest already high expectations for ECB policy normalization signaling.
And so fresh impetus to either EUR or USD into the start of summer appears elusive. The lack of fresh directionality in markets is also due to the fact that despite various significant headlines in the past several weeks (e.g. China overtightening and US presidential scandal risks), none has followed through and endured as multi-week driving narratives of global markets.
We review two fresh global market developments that we, as a baseline, expect to also remain largely local idiosyncratic developments: the renewed RMB FX regime shift in China, and the upcoming UK election.
FX Derivatives: VXY has retraced nearly 100% of its Brazilian and US political stress led spike, once again leaving it looking meaningfully cheap vs. cyclical drivers.
FX vols have drifted lower over the past two weeks with political eruptions in Brazil and the US fading into a dull background monotone. VIX, as well as BRL vols, have retraced 100% of their spike, as has the collateral damage in yen-crosses and other EMs.
The OPEC meeting in late May could have proven to be a banana skin for risk markets, but that too was safely negotiated by avoiding the unpleasant ‘no-deal’ tail, leaving the VXY once again looking meaningfully cheap to cyclical variables but starved of catalysts to trigger mean-reversion. June brings a nearly 100% discounted Fed hike, an important ECB meeting and surprisingly tight UK elections as key events, none of which look likely to upend the low quality carry environment that has prevailed since the French elections.
Of the three, the ECB strikes us as the most meaningful and tradeable from a gamma standpoint given the substantial weight of existing EUR positions and the potential for any disappointment on tapering expectations to move markets; jockeying around of Italian election day-weights in coming weeks adds a layer of excitement for Euro-bloc option markets.
The spike in front-end ATM vol and nosedive in risk-reversals after this week’s USD/CNH plunge is over-done, fade the move via -6w/+3M calendar spreads and AUD vs. CNH 2M gamma spreads. Italian election risk premium is priced to the tune of ~60% of peak French election risk and far from fade territory. EURCHF, EURJPY, and EURUSD are the biggest laggards by the French yardstick; stay long EURUSD 1M1M FVAs into next week’s ECB.

The founder of ’22 Words’ gave us 6 tips on how to turn your blog into a business
Back in 2008, Abraham Piper set up the blog 22 Words to share pictures of his children, write about books, and try to be “convincingly contrary to anyone who would listen.”
The idea was originally a gimmick, with every post being exactly 22 words long.
“In my defense, or perhaps to my shame, I hadn’t heard of Twitter yet,” Piper told Business Insider in an email. “This schtick obviously required concision — a constant value online no matter what year it is. So the content was always extremely easy to consume. If it was good, readers got what they wanted quick. And if it was bad, no harm done. I mean, how much time can be wasted by a sentence or two?”
Piper knew he was onto something when 22 Words started getting a million pageviews a month. Today, it has 4.8 million fans and a post reach of 50 million.
Piper gave Business Insider some tips for people who are working on their own blogs on how to turn them into profitable businesses. Here they are:
1. Don’t be precious about your work.
Some people are lucky enough to build a business out of their work, with people being interested in their identity from the beginning. However, this isn’t the case for everyone. Piper says this approach requires too much luck.
“You’re a blogger, not Picasso,” he said. “Most of us need to adapt, tweak, and even compromise how we create if we want to turn our efforts into money.”
He says that at 22 Words they try things out and obey the results — even if that means using Comic Sans on the homepage.
2. Spend a ton of money on Facebook.
For a blog to go anywhere, it needs traffic. Sometimes blogs take off of their own accord, but that happens rarely. If a post does happen to go viral, you can’t guarantee it will happen for all others. That’s not a great way to start a business, so don’t be precious about spending some money.
“Always strive for organic traffic, but to fill in the gaps, buy traffic,” Piper said. “That sounds bad, though. That’s why you’ll usually hear it called ‘marketing.'”
Most importantly, make sure you’re spending less per click than you make from each person who visits your site.
3. Don’t be an early adopter.
It might be thrilling to be the first to adopt a new trend, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get the credit for it. It can also be expensive to hop on new things before they are proven, which makes it a risky business move.
“Let other people adopt early; let other people test new, risky strategies; let the big players with all kinds of funding spend money hand over fist on R&D,” Piper said. “Then do what they do.”
It’s almost as good to follow fast as it is to be the first on the bandwagon.
4. Capitalize on your good fortune.
Piper says there’s a lot of value in admitting you’re lucky, because good fortune is part of every success story.
“You have to take luck when you can get it and wring success out of it for all you’re worth,” he said. “In my story, meeting my business partner Josh Sowin was good fortune; Stumbleupon ‘discovering’ 22 Words in 2010 was good fortune; Facebook deciding they were going to take over the world completely revolutionized 22 Words.”
5. Remember you can’t do this by yourself.
Finding a partner is important, especially if you know someone who can offset your weaknesses. If you have a blog, you are probably a creative type. This could mean you don’t necessarily have the best business mind, so it’s a good idea to find someone who does to help you out, Piper says.
“This will take a healthy dose of humility,” he said. “And a mega-dose of trust, because business partnership is almost as risky as marriage.”
6. Treat your site like it already is a business.
Don’t treat something as your hobby if you want it to be more. Blogging may have started as something to fill your time, but if you’re passionate about turning it into a money-maker then you should treat it as such.
Dedicate the same amount of time to it you would a job, and put the same effort in as if you were looking to be promoted. You only have yourself to answer to, so motivation is key.

Should I include Screenshots on our Website?
We are a SAAS company in Beta. One of the main strengths of our platform is the UI and UX we have created around our solution. On the one hand I want to show it off and show that we actually have a real product, on the other hand I don’t want to “show all my cards”. What do you think?
