We don’t see any significant changes in EUR forecast following yet another turgid month in which EUR crosses have continued to respect the pitiful three cent range that has endured for over three months now.
Bearish EURJPY scenarios (see 127.700) if:
1) The Growth fails to rebound above 2%
2) EUR appreciation and/or sluggish core CPI delays ECB policy normalization
3) The BoJ does not move even if core inflation rate rises more than expected.
OTC outlook:
Most importantly, please be noted that the positively skewed IVs of 3m tenors are signifying the hedging interests in the bearish risks. The bids for OTM puts of these tenors signal that the underlying spot FX likely to break below 126 levels so that OTM instruments would expire in-the-money.
While mounting bearish risk reversal numbers are also substantiating that amid minor upswings, the downside risks remain intact in long run.
Options strategies for hedging:
Contemplating above fundamental driving forces and OTC indications, we’ve devised various options strategies:
Buy 2M EUR puts/JPY calls vs. sell 2M 28D EUR puts/KRW calls for directional traders.
Buy 2m EURJPY ATM -0.49 delta puts for aggressive bears on hedging grounds. If expiry is not near, delta movement wouldn’t be 1 point increase with 1 pip in the underlying spot FX. Which means if the spot FX moves 1 pip, depending on the strike price of the option, the option would also move less than 1.
Sell 4M EURJPY 25D risk-reversal (buy EUR calls - sell EUR puts), delta-hedged for risk-averse traders.
