FX reaction to U.S CPI data, according to options
July 10 (Reuters) -FX volatility is an unknown, yet key part of an FX options premium so dealers use implied volatility as a stand-in. Any increase in implied volatility after the options expiry includes a major event therefore reflects the additional FX volatility that dealers feel that event will generate.
Overnight expiry is the next working day at 10:00 a.m. New York/3:00 p.m. London and now includes the eagerly awaited U.S CPI data on Thursday July 11, so it's no surprise to see overnight expiry implied volatility higher, but the gains are hardly significant and well below the levels seen before the June and May CPI data releases.
Overnight expiry EUR/USD implied volatility is 8.0 from 6.0 and has a premium/break-even for a simple vanilla straddle of 36 USD pips from 27 USD pips in either direction.
Overnight expiry USD/JPY implied volatility has increased to 10.75 from 8.75 - a premium/break-even of 72 JPY pips from 60 JPY pips in either direction.
Overnight AUD/USD is 12.75 from 9.0 - a premium/break-even of 36 USD pips from 26 USD pips in either direction.
For context, when overnight expiry included the May and June CPI data, the implied volatility for EUR/USD reached 14.0 (63 USD pips), USD/JPY reached 16.0 (108 JPY pips) and AUD/USD reached 20.0 (56 USD pips).
FX implied volatility is currently lower across all currency pairs and expiry dates and reflects a lack of realised volatility/expectations as FX clings to familiar ranges into the typical summer lull.
With the market already pricing two U.S. rate cuts in September and December, it would probably take a significant U.S. CPI miss, or beat, to alter those expectations and prompt a serious USD reaction.
