Currency hedging markets humming............>

OPTIONS
OPTIONS: Currency hedging markets humming alongside average for a Monday, with
better trade volumes crossing in EUR/USD, USD/CNY and AUD/USD countering lower
than average trading in USD/JPY, GBP/USD and USD/INR.
EUR/USD options bought favour puts, with a put/call ratio so far today of 1.43.
Put strikes at 1.1500 and 1.1450 are in firm demand, while markets also eye call
strikes at 1.15 and 1.1585 (and, to a lesser extent, 1.1600 and 1.1625).
Meanwhile, USD/CNY calls are increasingly popular, retaining the trend seen over
the past few weeks. Markets opt for 6.96 and 7.00 call strikes first and
foremost, with some trades positioned to profit on a move above the implied
threshold at 7.00 as soon as the end of November.
