A ‘pairs trade’ (also called a spread trade) refers to a strategy where a trader initiates a long and short position simultaneously, usually in related markets, to hedge out certain types of risk. For example, a trader could take a bullish view on gold over silver to mitigate risk of metals (because if all metals fall, theoretically, the trader’s downside is cushioned by their short position against their long).
Here is a spread chart of palladium/platinum, where a rising chart denotes palladium outperforming platinum since February. And if price action on the underlying charts is anything to go by, we could see the ratio continue to rise over the coming week/s.
See today’s video for key technical levels for platinum and palladium, and we also briefly catch up on Tesla (TSLA) after it popped higher by 4% yesterday.
