FX reaction to U.S. election - according to FX options
Nov 5 (Reuters) -Overnight options now expire on Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 10 a.m New York time and therefore include the U.S. election result, with a sharp increase in their premium/break-evens, many reaching new multi-year highs, showing the extent of the perceived FX reaction.
FX volatility is an unknown yet key part of an FX option premium, so dealers use implied volatility as a substitute. A perfectly priced option would see actual/realised volatility match implied, with any disparity therefore creating a trading opportunity. Overnight expiry implied volatility has been marked significantly higher on Tuesday, clearly highlighting the perceived threat of extreme FX realised volatility to be driven by the incoming election results.
Overnight expiry EUR/USD implied volatility has jumped from 9.0 to 29.0 since including the election - a premium/break-even for a simple vanilla straddle option of 41 USD pips to 132 USD pips in either direction. Overnight GBP/USD implied volatility from 10.0 to 23.0 or 54 USD pips to 125 USD pips in either direction.
Overnight USD/JPY implied volatility jumps from 14.0 to 35.0 or 90 JPY pips to 222 JPY pips in either direction, while overnight AUD/USD implied volatility jumps from 14.0 to 36.0 or 38 USD pips to 100 USD pips in either direction.
