FX options wrap - Risk premium, USD direction, EUR/USD targets
Overnight expiry FX option implied volatility in the higher beta USD pairings was trading its biggest pre-U.S. CPI premium this year. However, Wednesday's data was basically in line with expectations and didn't prompt the excessive volatility for which options were primed.
Broader FX option implied volatility has eased as the CPI risk premium was priced out and as always, is more evident in sub-one-month expiry contracts.
There's still evidence of FX volatility risk premium within the higher beta currency pairs such as JPY and CHF, which is related to the Russia-Ukraine and Iran-Israel conflicts.
The market is pricing 106 bps of U.S. rate cuts by the Dec. 18 Fed policy meeting and that's keeping pressure on the broader USD, although further losses might prove limited without further position adjustments and technical breaches.
However, EUR/USD options have seen sub-one-month risk reversals shift to a topside strike premium and increase demand and premium for 1.1100 and 1.1200 strikes with expiries over the coming weeks. A lack of existing option positions may also exacerbate any EUR/USD volatility to the topside.
