The benchmark 1-month expiry is also benefiting from the inclusion of policy announcements from the U.S. and Japan on Dec. 18-19 . USD/JPY was under pressure after the latest comments by BoJ governor Ueda on Thursday, which highlights the sensitivity of this pairing to any clues about impending policy .

FX options wrap - Billions, euro warning, BoJ risk, yuan view

BUZZ-FX options wrap - Billions, euro warning, BoJ risk, yuan view FX option implied volatility retreated from the peaks seen amid Tuesday's bout of risk aversion, but the pullback was limited. EUR/USD is still mired in billions of euros of soon-to-expire option strikes between 1.05-1.06 , which is helping to limit and contain FX. However, price action indicates an ongoing perceived threat of more EUR/USD losses , with renewed demand for EUR puts/USD calls via risk reversals.

FX options wrap - BoJ fuel, USD threat, big EUR, CNH risk

BUZZ-FX options wrap - BoJ fuel, USD threat, big EUR, CNH risk USD/JPY traders pared USD/JPY risk premium as BoJ Governor Ueda failed to commit to a December rate hike. Benchmark 1-month implied volatility had rallied 1.0 to 11.2 since early Europe on Friday and has since reverted to 10.5. There is a strong negative correlation between USD/JPY spot and implied volatility which should lift the latter if USD/JPY drops again or if traders feel USD/JPY's downside is becoming more vulnerable .
