Implied Vol. Stops Short Of ’21 High, For Now

JGBS

Implied JGB volatility (as measured by the S&P-Japan Exchange metric) has backed away from yesterday’s YtD high, after failing to test the ’21 peak (which came at the time when the market forced the BoJ to reset and formally outline its permitted 10-Year JGB yield trading band). The combination of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, global inflationary spiral and uncertainty when it comes to global central bank policy action drove volatility higher in recent weeks. Also note that current levels of implied vol. remain well short of the Mar ’20 COVID outbreak peak.
