Trade Ideas Buy 1y2y USDJPY FVA at 10.50% Current 2y Implied volatility is at 9.95% Rationale • The USDJPY volatility curve has flattened and reduced over the past year: Implied volatility is around 10% for maturities between ly and 7y, is historically low and carries flat. Hence USDJPY provides interesting entry points to buy forward volatility • Volatility of USDJPY long-dated forwards is extremely low, with changes in forward points often having opposite changes in spot (typical of carry trade dynamics). As a consequence, we view back-end volatility as trading at a premium • Medium term vols (3y-5y) may therefore be more optimal points in the curve. Current 1y2y forward implied is at multi- year lows and negative carry has substantially reduced making it an attractive part of the curve • Finally, holding USDJPY volatility would historically been a good diversifier against tail risk Analysis Forward Volatility Forward Starting Window Implied Volatility Curve vs past / Spot vol curve / 3m&6m realised volatility of the forward <image02.0.png> ly2y Forward Volatility is at the lows and so is vol carry •image01.1.png> <image012.png> Sources; Deutsche Bank, Bloomberg Finance L.P.
