In the past week we have seen financial stress rising on the back of increased concerns about Greece. However, the FX market has been surprisingly calm. The JP Morgan G7 volatility index (based on option volatility) is still trading close to the lowest level since 2008. In particular, the lack of volatility in EUR/USD has surprised many market participants. EUR/USD has been remarkably stable in a 1.29-1.33 range and realised 1M volatility is trading at its lowest level since January 2008. The stable EUR/USD has puzzled a lot of our clients and one of the most common questions of the past month has been why the euro is not any weaker.
