BUZZ-FX options wrap - Damp vol, CNH 7.30, EUR trap, ZAR risk, MXN The majority of G10 FX option implied volatility is languishing close to long-term lows and reflects a lack of FX realised volatility/expectations .

FX options thrive on spot volatility/expectations, so its absence favours selling options to bank premium.

BUZZ-FX options wrap - Risk recovery weighs USD and implied vol A bout of mid-week risk aversion reignited demand for options/implied volatility , but it is reverting amid a subsequent risk recovery, aided by a slightly softer than forecast monthly U.S. PCE inflation print.
