FX options wrap - JPY explosion, GBP hedges, Fed preview
JPY related options exploded higher with JPY in the wake of Wednesday's BoJ tightening. Gamma demand at the fore with 1-week USD/JPY implied volatility reaching 16.25 and 1-month 11.5 - new highs since April 29. Subsequent setbacks were limited in anticipation of the eventual 150.00 barrier break that was being hedged since last week. USD/JPY volatility and downside risk premiums remain elevated, with 1-month risk reversals at long term highs for JPY calls over puts at 1.9.
EUR/USD 1-month implied volatility struggles to retain a 5.0 handle as spot clings to the familiar low/mid 1.08s. Unless Wednesday's Fed or Friday's U.S. NFP data can surprise, 1-month should revert to Friday's 3-year low at 4.75.
GBP/USD trapped on a 1.2800 handle and EUR/GBP in the lower/mid 0.84s amid some huge impending strike expiries.
AUD options had been hedging the risk of a weaker than forecast Australian CPI and when that was realised on Wednesday, AUD slipped and 1-month AUD/USD implied volatility was paid at 9.0.
The U.S. Federal Reserve are almost unanimously expected to keep rates on hold Wednesday; recognising the progress on inflation, but remaining non committal about future rate cuts. That should limit any FX reaction, but option markets aren't complacent. Overnight EUR/USD implied volatility was higher since including the Fed, albeit below previous break-evens.
