FX options wrap - JPY success, big EUR, low FX volatility
FX option implied volatility is at, or edging toward, long-term lows in the major currency pairs, reflecting broader risk appetite and a continued lack of FX volatility.
Benchmark one-month expiry implied volatility trades three-year at 4.9, while one-month GBP/USD is trading just above its post-Brexit lows of 5.5. Other currency pairs and maturity dates are following suit as markets head in to the traditional summer lull.
The firmer EUR/USD spot brings billions of euros of 1.0900 strike expiries and their related hedging flows in to play, which could ultimately help to contain FX through next week.
Price action in USD/JPY since Thursday's U.S. CPI data appears consistent with intervention while highlighting its effectiveness. There was an initial spike higher in shorter-dated expiry implied volatility, but it has reverted lower since. Longer-dated expiry implied volatility is actually lower than it was prior - a typical post intervention reaction which reflects expectations of calmer FX. However, near-term expiry risk reversals contracts retain a higher volatility premium for JPY calls over puts that reflect the lingering risk of more intervention.
Also worth noting recently has been the demand for GBP call options that would benefit from further GBP gains in Cable and EUR/GBP nL1N3J409D and demand for AUD/NZD topside since the Wednesday's Dovish RBNZ nL1N3J20EG. Here are the stand out G10 FX option strike expiries for the week ahead nL1N3J409Z
