Dollar wallows at multi-month lows as Fed cut bets grow

FOREX-Dollar wallows at multi-month lows as Fed cut bets grow By Kevin Buckland TOKYO, June 4 (Reuters) - The dollar languished at its lowest since April against the euro and sterling on Tuesday as signs of a softening U.S. economy boosted the case for earlier Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. The U.S. currency wallowed near a two-week trough to the yen after data showed a second straight month of slowdown in manufacturing activity and an unexpected decline in construction spending.

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 . Very short dated expiry contracts hold slightly higher levels in recognition of impending event risks, but without a big surprise versus expectations, those prices should also fall thereafter.

Australia, NZ dollars underpinned by Asia growth, rate risks

Australia, NZ dollars underpinned by Asia growth, rate risks By Wayne Cole SYDNEY, June 3 (Reuters) - The Australian and New Zealand dollars were well supported on Monday, as surveys showed faster factory growth across Asia and markets wagered that interest rate cuts in Europe and Canada were coming this week. In China, the private Caixin survey showed a pick-up in its main factory index to a two-year top of 51.7 in May, offsetting weakness in the official survey out last week.

FX options wrap - Risk recovery weighs USD and implied vol

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. There's plenty of impending event risk to keep an underlying bid below shorter dated expiry FX implied volatility for now, however.
