FX is going nowhere fast - according to options
Oct 14 (Reuters) -Implied volatility serves as a proxy for realized FX volatility when pricing options. For very short-term expiries, implied volatility is currently exceptionally low.
Overnight expiry is the next working day at 10-am New York/3-pm London and is the shortest duration option. Its implied volatility trades ata long term low at the start of this new week.
Of the most liquid and commonly traded currency pairs, EUR/USD overnight expiry implied volatility is just 5.0, which for a simple vanilla straddle has a premium/break-even of just 23 USD pips in either direction. Overnight GBP/USD implied volatility is just 4.5, or 24 USD pips, and AUD/USD, at 9.0, is 25 USD pips in either direction.
USD/JPY implied volatility remains the highest of its G10 FX peers due to its stronger correlation with broader risk. However, at 9.0, implied volatility and a break-even/premium of 56 JPY pips, the FX volatility risk premium for overnight options joins its peers at trading at its lowest levels since July.
Implied volatility for one- and two-week expiry options is also trading with a subdued tone, reflecting the market's expectations of low realized FX volatility in the near term. However, benchmark 1-month expiry implied volatility remains elevated since the inclusion of the U.S. election, signaling heightened sensitivity to a potential surge in realized FX volatility over this event. It's worth noting a preference to own USD call options that would benefit from more USD gains.
