Australia, NZ dollars fall as Trump shooting galvanises greenback SYDNEY, July 15 (Reuters) - The Australian and New Zealand dollars fell on Monday as the assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump boosted his re-election odds, lifting the greenback, while the soft Chinese data failed to provide any support. The Aussie AUD=D3 slipped 0.1% to $0.6772, having climbed 0.5% last week to a six-month top of $0.6798 thanks to favourable yield differentials.

JPY volatility successfully quashed, options show

BUZZ-COMMENT-JPY volatility successfully quashed, options show July 12 (Reuters) - The price action in FX options since Thursday's U.S. CPI data reinforces expectations of official intervention, but also reflects its success in quashing related volatility and JPY weakness, at least for now. The FX volatility upon which FX options thrive is an unknown, but key part, of their premium, so dealers use implied volatility as a stand-in.
