J. Safra Sarasin's FSA Daily Top Ideas outlines trade recommendations across asset classes for August 26, 2026. Key recommendations include an auto-callable multi-reverse convertible on US tech names, selling a Gold strangle, taking profit on an NZD/CHF risk reversal, buying Nokia for AI network infrastructure growth, and holding BNP Paribas AT1 subordinated debt.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.Recommended a 15-month Auto-callable Multi-Reverse Convertible on Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Palantir offering an 11.50% p.a. coupon in USD (10.00% p.a. EUR Quanto) with a 50% geared strike buffer.
  • 2.Initiated a range strategy on Gold (XAUUSD) via a 3-month sell strangle (Sell Call 5,600 / Sell Put 3,900) to collect a 1.05% USD premium amid competing macro forces of US bond buybacks and potential Fed rate risks.
  • 3.Took profit and unwound the NZDCHF 3-month risk reversal position originally entered on 15 July 2026, locking in a net return of 0.60% in USD terms.
