FX options wrap - FX volatility risk gone but not forgotten
The substantial increase in implied volatility triggered by the risk aversion following the July NFP data has largely been reversed. However, FX volatility risk premiums are beginning to attract demand as the majority approach their longer term lows from June.
Markets have re-embraced the U.S. soft landing narrative following this week's in-line CPI and stronger-than-expected retail sales data, bolstering risk appetite and driving option premiums lower. However, the upcoming August data release on September 6 could still disrupt this recovery and there's a subsequent bid in options including that date.
Traders will also be aware of the simmering geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel, and Ukraine and Russia, with any escalation set to reignite risk aversion. These risks are helping to attract implied volatility dip buyers in the main FX currency pairs.
EUR/USD bulls will be hoping for an improvement in EZ PMI data next week to keep their hopes alive, but huge expiries could leave the pair pinned to 1.1000 prior. The benchmark 1-month expiry implied volatility meets demand at 5.25 and 1-year was paid at 6.475-6.55 on Friday.
AUD/USD 1-month FX option implied volatility meets demand at 8.3 on Friday, GBP/USD 1-month at 5.8 and USD/JPY 1-month at 10.4. One-month expiry FX options will include September's U.S. and UK rate decisions next week.
