FX options wrap - Trump trade, ECB risk, revealing sales
Shorter dated expiry implied volatility in most of the major currency pairs remains under pressure and reflects the lack of current FX realised volatility. That's not expected to change much until the U.S. election, where implied volatility is higher and better supported.
Overnight expiry implied volatility remains very low, even in EUR related pairings which now include Thursday's ECB policy announcement. The FX volatility risk premium/break-even is the lowest for an ECB policy announcement in 2024 at 45 USD pips.
The USD looks poised to extend its recent recovery if former President Donald Trump wins the U.S. election on Nov. 5, with latest polling gains fuelling demand for USD call options. USD call options would allow holders to buy the USD at more favourable levels if it does increase in value.
Option risk reversals involving the USD versus many of the major currencies have already increased their implied volatility premiums for USD calls over USD puts in recent weeks and should remain well supported. This USD call premium highlights the perceived risk of more USD gains which would give a boost to implied volatility and increase FX option prices.
A French bank thinks AUD/USD could see the biggest losses in the case of a Trump victory and recommends some AUD put/USD call strategies to hedge that risk.
