EUR Hedging Volumes Surge Alongside Run-Up in Spot

OPTIONS
  • Healthy trade in EUR/USD options this morning, with markets taking their cue from the persistent rally in spot. Markets clearly remain cognizant of further strength in the pair, with solid demand for EUR/USD call options throughout the morning and into the NY crossover. 1.2275, 1.2350 and 1.2400 call strikes in particular have drawn focus.
  • Elsewhere, CNY hedging activity sits well ahead of average for this time of day. Over $2 in USD/CNY puts have traded for every $1 in calls so far, with solid trade in 6.25 and 6.30 put strikes largely responsible behind the run-up in activity.
