On the other hand, trading of interest rate futures was unprofitable. Throughout the month investors focused more and more on the growth dampening impacts of: inflation; an increasingly hawkish monetary policy stance from global central banks led by the Federal Reserve; China's economic slowdown due to the expanding COVID-19 lockdown strategy on top of a property sector collapse; and Russia's war on Ukraine and broadening sanctions. Since the war in Ukraine is expected to have a much greater negative impact on European growth than U.S. growth and since the Fed is likely to remain more hawkish than the ECB, long U.S. dollar positions against the Euro and Swiss franc were profitable. A long dollar trade versus the Japanese yen was profitable too as the Bank of Japan continued to pursue an expansive monetary policy at the same time that the Federal Reserve was becoming decidedly more restrictive. As commodity prices stabilized somewhat, albeit at high levels, long U.S. dollar trades versus several commodity currencies such as the Aussie dollar, Canadian dollar, South African rand and Norwegian krone also posted gains. A long U.S. dollar/short Singapore dollar trade was profitable too. On the other hand, short dollar positions against the Brazilian real, British pound, New Zealand dollar and Polish zloty were slightly unprofitable. Energy prices were volatile during the month as concerns about supply limitations, particularly from Russia and Iran, on the one hand confronted demand worries due to slowing growth, especially in China, on the other. On balance, long positions in natural gas, Brent crude, WTI crude, RBOB gasoline and heating oil were profitable. Trading of grain futures was profitable. A long soybean oil position was particularly profitable in the wake of news that Indonesia banned exports of palm oil in a bid to ensure domestic supply. Both palm oil and soybean oil are used for cooking as well as food preparation, and are in high demand as substitutes for sunflower oil, a commodity whose supply has been negatively impacted by the ongoing Russian war on Ukraine. Long positions in corn and soybeans were also profitable. On the other hand, trading of wheat and soybean meal posted small losses. The slowing growth outlook, rising interest rates and a rising dollar weighed on metal prices. Short positions in silver, gold and copper were profitable, while a long aluminum position registered a partially offsetting loss. Against the background of slowing growth, rising interest rates, war uncertainties and slowing earnings, global equity markets declined sharply, volatility increased and trading of equity futures was mixed though fractionally profitable. Short positions in Brazilian, Korean, Japanese, British, EAFE and emerging market index futures posted gains. Trading in U.S. equity futures was also marginally profitable. On the other hand, a short VIX index position and a long Canadian stock index futures position produced partially offsetting losses. With global central banks led by the Federal Reserve attacking rising inflation, interest rates climbed sharply during April, with trading turning increasingly volatile during the second half of the month. Long positions in German, British, Italian, and Australian note and bond futures were unprofitable. On the other hand, short positions in short-term European, U.S., Canadian and Australian interest rate futures posted partially offsetting gains. Very truly yours, Millburn Ridgefield Corporation Harvey Beker, Chairman
