Tomorrow\u2019s unemployment rate release for Canada is expected to rise to 7.2% from 7.1%, but the historical tendencies of this indicator alongside liquidity availability at the lower and upper tails present a short strangle kind of forecast contract trade. Indeed, the figure has rarely risen by 0.4% or more in one month, and that\u2019s what would be required for \u201cTeam No\u201d to lose at 7.4%<\/a>. Meanwhile, a drop of 0.3% or lower is also a rare event, so \u201cTeam Yes\u201d at 6.8% and below carry attractive risk-reward profiles, in my opinion. The \u201cNo\u201d at 7.4% and the \u201cYeses\u201d at 6.4%, 6.6% and 6.8% are all costing either $0.97 or $0.98.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
