FX options wrap - USD path, RBNZ, U.S. election and Fed risks
FX option implied volatility is broadly heavy as the USD consolidates its recent recovery and leaves G10 FX spot within familiar ranges without any real break-out catalysts.
There has been an increase in FX volatility risk premium for USD call options as shown by near dated risk reversals in most of the major pairings, but those gains have since stalled.
Short-term volatility risks are apparent, however, with Wednesday's New Zealand policy decision boosting overnight expiry NZD/USD implied volatility from 12.0 to 19.0, second only to the 2024 highs at 23.0 achieved before the 14 August policy announcement.
Overnight expiry options will include Thursday's U.S. CPI from Wednesday so FX traders can gauge the degree of expected realised volatility it is expected to generate via any related implied volatility gains.
Benchmark 1-month option implied volatility trades new recent highs since its expiry included the U.S. election from late last week and flags the associated volatility risk from that event, with USD/MXN being the biggest gainer. The 1-month expiry also now includes the Nov. 7 U.S. policy announcement, to further underpin 1-month expiry option premiums.
USD/CNH options saw mild selling interest as spot holds recent ranges, but 1-month risk reversals have regained a small upside strike risk premium.
