FX options wrap - FX signals, AUD up, EUR down, expensive
USD weakness and risk appetite have been weighing on FX option implied volatility and there is little to change that narrative unless Thursday's U.S CPI data beats expectations.
EUR/USD implied volatility has almost erased all of the sharp gains seen after the French election was first called in mid June, while risk reversals contracts have given back most of their additional risk premium for EUR puts over calls. However, there are reasons to think EUR/USD can still test the bottom of longer term ranges below 1.0500 over time, with hedging flows reinforcing that outlook.
Since last week the demand for AUD/USD topside strikes above 0.6800 with near term expiries has increased, as has demand for strikes a high as 0.7000 with expiries over coming months. These flows have pressed the AUD put premium on risk reversals to long term lows.
USD/JPY is unable to regain/hold the 161.00 handle since its setback to 160.27. Implied volatility continues to ease, but with the risk of further FX gains and intervention now falling, there's more downside potential when comparing prices with recent lows and historic volatility measures.
