FX options wrap - PCE risk, JPY 150, BoE Bets, euro low
A busier week for FX with the closing of short JPY positions being the main driver before next week's central bank meetings. However, JPY demand and broader FX option implied volatility has peaked for now.
U.S. PCE inflation data can offer more clues on next week's U.S. policy decision and the U.S. rate path, but the price of overnight expiry options suggests any FX reaction is expected to be limited.
USD/JPY shorter dated expiry options saw the biggest gains with 1-week implied volatility up 5.0 to 14.75 and setbacks are proving limited ahead of U.S. and Japanese policy announcements next Wednesday. Risk reversals maintain longer-term highs for downside over upside strikes and demand for 150.00 JPY call options suggests this level remains vulnerable.
Big gains for USD/CNH implied volatility as USD/CNH fell hard on Thursday have now peaked amid the subsequent recovery, but the risk reversal premium for downside versus upside strikes retains new record highs at 0.9.
AUD/USD retraced over 61.8% of its April-July rally which took 1-month implied volatility from 8.5 to 9.0 this week from 7.5 on July 12. It's now 8.5 with AUD/USD off its worst levels as attention turns to next week's Australian CPI and its potential to heighten the probability an RBA rate hike.
EUR/USD 1-month expiry implied volatility trades a new 3-year low at 4.85 and short dated risk reversals lack any real directional premium.
One-week EUR/GBP implied volatility is looking attractive at current levels as realised volatility increases before next week's Bank of England policy announcement where the market is 50/50 for a rate cut.
