Just in case you've been spending sleepless nights waiting for Goldman Sachs top trade recommendations for 2016 ....

  1. Coming in at number 1 .... Long USD, short euro and yen. This one is all about divergence in central bank monetary policy ... i.e. Fed hiking, ECB & BOJ easing further
  2. Long US 10-year 'Breakeven' Inflation
  3. Long MXN and RUB (equally-weighted) versus short ZAR and CLP (equally-weighted)
  4. Long EM 'External Demand' vs. Banks stocks:
  5. Tighter Spread between Italy and Germany Long Rates
  6. Long large-cap US Banks relative to the S&P500

Reuters have more, and also BI

I posted on the top 2016 ideas from CS earlier (there are some great ideas in the comments to that post). I expect we'll get more of these lists.

Anyone with top trades for the coming year, comments welcome!
