FX options wrap - Falling FX volatility precedes a resurgence
Price action in FX options suggests traders are anticipating a period of lower FX volatility before a resurgence in early November.
Implied volatility for options expiring through the end of October is relatively low and sellers have been dominating the fairly limited trade flows. However, benchmark 1-month expiry options include the U.S. NFP data, U.S. election results and the U.S. policy decision in early November, where related FX volatility risk premiums are significantly higher.
Benchmark 1-month expiry EUR/USD risk reversals post their highest downside strike implied volatility premiums since early July at 0.4, which shows the most vulnerable side of that pairing. However, EUR/USD downside is potentially limited to the middle of the longer term range around 1.0800. There's been similar price action in GBP/USD with its 1-month risk reversals reaching new recent highs for GBP puts over calls at 0.5.
USD/JPY 1-month implied volatility has retraced its post U.S. election inclusion spike from 12.5 to 13.75 and would suggest potential value when compared to its 1-month historic volatility measure at 13.2. Barriers at 150.00 remain intact below some key technical resistance levels.
USD/CNH options are looking to Saturday's stimulus announcement as a potential volatility/directional catalyst, but there's been more demand for post US. election dates, which has driven the 1-month USD/CNH implied volatility to new highs since Dec 2022 above 8.0.
