BUZZ-FX options wrap - USD path, RBNZ, U.S. election and Fed risks FX option implied volatility is broadly heavy as the USD consolidates its recent recovery and leaves G10 FX spot within familiar ranges without any real break-out catalysts.

BUZZ-FX Options wrap: USD and premium gains warn of impending FX risks FX option implied volatility remains underpinned by risk aversion as middle eastern tensions simmer and U.S. NFP, CPI and elections loom. The USD and FX option USD calls are in demand, with an increased premium for the latter. That's apparent when looking at benchmark 1-month expiry 25 delta risk reversal contracts for the USD against the major pairings, with EUR/USD up to 0.325 from 0.1 and GBP/USD to 0.5 from 0.15 USD calls
