FX markets are waking up and traders may need to adjust
June 14 (Reuters) -FX markets are waking up and traders may need to adjust for bigger moves in the future that result in a shift away from carry trades that have hitherto been popular.
Volatility that has been suppressed for ages is rising, and crucially EUR/USD is at the heart of this change, with EUR/USD vol picking up quickly from below 5.0 at the start of this month toward 7.0.
The speedy rise is an indication of the lack of expectations for any movement for this pair which has been trapped in tight ranges since the start of last year.
As a consequence, hedging for moves beyond 1.05-1.10 is probably much reduced, and there may be very little cover for moves that go beyond 1.04-1.12.
Should one-month vol rise above April and January highs - which are nearby at 7.01 and 7.03 - it may force traders to adjust hedges and bets on EUR/USD's direction. EUR/USD is the most heavily traded and influential FX pair, and its movement will influence other currencies.
The euro also constitutes 58 percent of the well followed USD index. A sustained EUR/USD move could have a big influence on expectations for the dollar.
The rise in volatility also threatens carry trades, which is bearish for the euro that many traders are currently holding and is undermined by an easing cycle in the eurozone.
