Current strike (spot - 5%) would be 1.3120
At expiry if EURUSD has fallen by more than 5% from current levels the option payout is EUR1mm. Upfront premium is
EUR210k.
The option is liquid and can be unwound at any time.
i) Yellen has done a poor job of communicating the Fed's thinking but its increasingly clear the Fed will brake later than
usual
ii) Betting on higher US interest rates in the rates market isn't cost effective because the forward curve is already pricing
in higher rates
iii) The Dollar hasn't appreciated yet because short rates in the US haven't risen meaningfully
iv) THE KEY POINT - FX volatility is very low in currency pairs like EURUSD where central bank policy on each side is
increasingly diverging. The low vol makes this bet inexpensive to put on.
v) Because FX vol is so low betting now or soon with a one year time horizon costs very little. id rather be early than late
here
)J1) i prefer 1y expiry because this trade could take 6-12mths to play out
11' EURUSD VOL: Low - but then again most most vols are
What I like about EURUSD is that central bank olic on each side is diver, in.
