Implied Vol. Pares Back In Wake Of BoJ YCC Enforcement

JGBS

Note that the BoJ’s pre-emptive enforcement of the top of its permitted 10-Year JGB yield trading band (0.25%) has facilitated a downtick in implied volatility in the JGB space, as measured via the Japan Exchange’s metric. The latest uptick in implied vol. got nowhere near the peaks witnessed in recent times, with the Mar ’20 COVID outbreak-related vol. of course providing the most extreme scenario in recent years.
