FX options wrap - JPY reversal, NFP risk, EUR struggle, GBP put
The JPY reversed higher after Sanae Takaichi, a less BoJ-friendly LDP leadership and future PM contender, lost the election to ShigeruIshiba, who is now set to become Japan's next Prime Minister.
USD/JPY and its implied volatility fell on the JPY relief rally as topside hedges were pared. The benchmark 1-month expiry implied volatility ends back where it started the week in the mid 11's from 12.75 highs in Asia Friday. One-month expiry 25 delta risk reversals paid 1.25 from 0.8 (JPY calls over puts).
One-week implied volatility setbacks were less aggressive since expiry included next Friday's U.S. NFP data and its potential to increase USD/FX volatility.
EUR/USD bulls are resilient, but option pricing suggests there are lingering concerns about spot setbacks. Topside strike demand has been limited and sub 1-month expiry risk reversals were quick to revert to a downside over upside strike premium, which helped to lift 1-month expiry implied volatility to new weekly highs at 6.0 when spot tested toward 1.1100 early Friday.
EUR/GBP losses held by 0.8300 FX option barriers this week. Societe Generale note potential value in implied volatility that could benefit high strike options amid a bounce back toward the early August highs above 0.8600.
Plenty of big FX option strikes are set to expire next week. nL1N3L90B3
