CZK: EURCZK Dips to New Session Low Following Rate Decision
May-07 12:34
EURCZK dips to new session lows on the back of the rate decision, with 24.8450, the March low, key support for the cross. The 25bp move was widely expected, though communication from the Board is likely to remain hawkish given the central bank is in the fine-tuning stage of its easing cycle. Focus therefore turns to the policy statement and Governor Ales Michl's presser at 14:00BST/15:00CET.

US SWAPTIONS: Goldman See Tailwinds For Vol.
Apr-07 12:21
Late on Friday Goldman Sachs noted that the extent of last week’s vol. “richening was in line with behaviour around prior tariff announcements, featuring higher vol. levels across the surface and a flattening in both the tail and expiry curves”.
- They suggest that “with increased recession fears opening up the distribution around the front-end more substantially, this appears consistent with the tendency for shorter tenor vol. to respond positively in rate rallies”.
- Going forwards they think “vol. levels can stay elevated as long as growth uncertainty lingers, with gamma richening the typical pattern observed around prior growth slowdown or recessionary episodes. And with implied-to-delivered ratios generally on the lower side of the past two years’ range, there remains scope for vol. premium to build”.
