USD/CNY options volumes looking.............>

OPTIONS
OPTIONS: USD/CNY options volumes looking particularly strong today, with just
under $8bln contracts traded and second to only USD/JPY. Sizeable call option
trades with strikes as high Cny6.945 and circa 1 month expiries went through
during the Asia session as the spot rate rallied up to Cny6.8117.
Nonetheless, implied volatility is generally dropping for most other majors,
with little newsflow Friday to rival the rest of this busy week. AUD/USD,
USD/CNY, USD/MXN and USD/BRL are the sole pairs to see 1m vol rising among an
expanded basket of currencies.
