FX options wrap - A firmer USD trade is lacking conviction
Oct 7 (Reuters) -The USD has recovered more ground since Friday's U.S. payroll data beat, and although FX options are primed for further USD gains, they lack the conviction for an extended move.
Banks note USD demand on dips, especially EUR/USD in the mid 1.09s, which is also attracting huge FX option strike expiry hedging.
One and two month expiry 25 delta EUR/USD risk reversals trade new recent highs for downside over upside strikes at 0.375 and 0.45 respectively, having been relatively neutral in late September. However, demand for outright EUR put strikes appears to be limited to the 1.0850-1.0800area for now and general EUR/USD volatility gauges have not seen much demand, either.
GBP/USD 1-month risk reversals failed to adopt a topside strike premium when spot was at 1.3400, but have been quick to recover 0.5 implied volatility premium for downside strikes since. However, outright demand for GBP put strikes has been limited to 1.3000 and a UK bank has a preference for GBP/USD longs.
Benchmark 1-month implied volatility for broader FX options remains elevated after posting a significant increase when its expiry included the U.S electionslate last week. The biggest gainer and therefore biggest anticipated FX reaction is in USD/MXN.
If G10 FX does not move too far this week, there are plenty of larger FX option strike expiries and their related FX hedging flows which could impact price action.
