Buy 1y2y USDJPY FVA at 10.50%
Current 2y Implied volatility is at 9.95%
Rationale
•
The USDJPY volatility curve has flattened and reduced over the past year: Implied volatility is around 10% for maturities
between ly and 7y, is historically low and carries flat. Hence USDJPY provides interesting entry points to buy forward volatility
•
Volatility of USDJPY long-dated forwards is extremely low, with changes in forward points often having opposite
changes in spot (typical of carry trade dynamics). As a consequence, we view back-end volatility as trading at a premium
•
Medium term vols (3y-5y) may therefore be more optimal points in the curve. Current 1y2y forward implied is at multi-
year lows and negative carry has substantially reduced making it an attractive part of the curve
•
Finally, holding USDJPY volatility would historically been a good diversifier against tail risk
