Implied Volatility Cone
Desk Analysis: The Reuters currency dispatch underscores the fragility of the carry trade corridor. While the US dollar has maintained resilience, narrowing interest rate differentials ahead of simultaneous Fed and BOJ policy decisions compress the risk premium.
With a 5.00% policy spread and a spot of 147.50, the currency sits 630 pips above the 7-month high pivot of 141.20. Carry unwinding velocity remains elevated if volatility triggers margin stop-outs.
