Subject: SY [I]
classification: For internal use only
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 42 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 85 (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 / decreases in value by almost half, so If SY rises to 110
or 115 the option can easily be unwound to monetize the profit
The option costs roughly 1/3rd compared to the vanilla 85 strike call
Maximum loss is premium paid
