FX options wrap - Wanting the USD and US election protection
Options that give holders the right to buy U.S dollars were sought amid the USD recovery from new recent lows, and were a prudent bet given the Greenback has extended its gains since Friday's U.S. jobs data beat.
The data and its revisions were much higher than expected, which has changed the narrative around the size and timing of impending U.S. rate cuts in a boost to the USD. Benchmark 1-month expiry 25 delta risk reversals had seen their USD call over put implied volatility premiums increase this week - with EUR/USD and GBP/USD to new highs since July at 0.325 and 0.5 respectively.
There's been a mild setback in shorter-dated expiry implied volatility as the jobs data volatility risk premiums are priced out, but the threat of more actual volatility from next Thursday's U.S. CPI should limit setbacks, especially if it fuels more USD demand.
Benchmark 1-month implied volatility posted significant gains after its expiry captured the November U.S. presidential election results and highlights the increased FX realised volatility risk.
