Investopedia explains 'Diversified Carry Basket'

Just as an investor managing a portfolio of securities will take positions in different industries and sectors, forex traders can diversify their holdings by investing in several different currency pairs. It is also important to determine the relationship and potential correlation between currencies before investing because the correlation among pairs will affect the degree of diversification in the basket.
