FX Options

EURUSD Vols traded much higher with 1 mth up 1 vol and risk reversals were bid. Market is looking for 1-2 mth 1.50s so we expect spot to continue climbing.

USDJPY Although front end saw some life, it still seems offered but back end is holding up well.
Should Dollar weakness push spot down towards 9100 we should see bigger jumps in vols.

AUDUSD Gamma turns bid with plenty of buyers in the front end. Risk reversals also saw some aggressive buying under 1wk which should keep spot from offered.
