Long SY Call Options. We like long expiry options to benefit from
the present dislocation between interest rates and volatility
Deutsche Bank FX Strategists are calling for USDJPY of 115 by
year-end 2014, and 120 by year-end 2015. See DB FX Blueprint
published 1/9/14, and note that *2 of the top 10 themes of 2014
(p. 5-6) revolves around extended weakness in the Japanese Yen vs.
USD.
Consider a lOyear expiry SY call option struck at 8S (spot fx 105,
forward fx 77.70). Price 4.7% of USD notional
This option has four notable characteristics
If SY stays at these levels the option decays
positively by approx 15-20% per year
If SY trades 90.00 at any time (arguably a scenario in
which the option is no longer wanted) the option
"knocks-out" and becomes worthless. While SY might
decline to 90. our quantitative analysis indicates the
probability of such a decline is significantly
(double?) overpriced by the options market
The premium of the option is quite sensitive to moves
in SY spot - which is atypical for a lOyear option.
This also results from the knockout feature. This
means if SY moves quickly by 5% the option increases /
