Using Pairs Trading to Profit From Volatile
Markets
PR Newswire
LONDON, June 24, 2012
LONDON

/PRNewswire/ --
Global markets - whether equities, currencies or commodities - have seen
some of the most volatile periods over the past few weeks.
Below, we look at how you can adapt your trading strategy with a City Index
CFD trading account.
Market Volatility
As mentioned above, in the past few weeks we have seen some of the most
volatile periods in the global markets.
This is mainly due to a confluence of factors including the uncertainties in
Europe
, the fragile rate of growth in the US and the seeming slowdown in
China
.
The Australian stock market and the Australian dollar are by no means exempt
from what's rocking international markets.
Trading Opportunities
However, despite all the market volatilities, City Index Chief Market Analyst
Peter Esho says there are still opportunities in some sectors or stocks which
have held their ground.
For example, the Australian banking sector is still being supported by traders
and investors because of their dividend income and relatively stable
performance compared to other sectors.
Paris Trading Strategy
Using a pairs trading strategy, investors and traders may still participate and
take advantage of trading opportunities despite the market volatility.
The banking sector in
Australia
is dominated by the big four banks -
Commonwealth Bank of
Australia
(CBA), Westpac (WBC), National Australia
Bank (NAB) and ANZ Bank (ANZ).
Pairs trading in the banking sector would involve going long one of these banks
e.g. buying CBA share CFDs and then going short one of the others, e.g. selling
NAB.
CBA is enjoying steady growth and technology advantage over its peers.
On the other hand, NAB seems to be burdened by its long-standing exposure in
the UK financial sector.
So, going long CBA and going short NAB will be a potential pairs trading
strategy, which means any downside on NAB will be offset by the strong
performance in CBA.
This is if you want to take advantage and be actively trading the Australian
banking and finance sector, which is a major contributor to the overall domestic
market.
Trading with City Index Australia
With a City Index Australia CFD trading account, you can place multiple orders
to execute a pairs trading strategy.
You may also use pairs trading in Index CFDs such as the ASX 200, Hang Seng,
Nikkei 225, the US100 and the UK100.
Though many of these indices tend to follow each other's direction, there are
instances where they could go separate ways and that may present a pairs
trading strategy in a global scale.
Trading CFDs has a greater degree of risk and is not suitable for all investors.
You may not own the underlying asset.
