Buy NDX Call 6-month 102.5% keeping contingent on EURUSD above 1.235 for 0.85% – 77% discount to vanilla (3.7% for a 6-month 45 Delta call) (Spot references: NDX 6472, EURUSD 1.1860).

The historically low level of volatility makes call premia cheap and the negative correlation between NDX and EURUSD dramatically enhances that cheapness. The recent leg down in the index is an interesting entry point into the trade.
