DM FX Implied Vol. Nudges Higher But Remains Contained

FOREX

When it comes to broader DM FX volatility measures, we highlight that both the Deutsche Bank 1- & 3-Month FX volatility indices are struggling to break above their respective November peaks, even with the elevated geopolitical tension surrounding Russia & Ukraine becoming embedded in at least the shorter end of the vol. curve spectrum. Note that the broader repricing when it comes to market-assumed levels of monetary policy tightening across the DM central bank space has supported implied vol. since the turn of the calendar year.
