Jeffrey — revisiting USDKRW trades given the sharp move in Asian currencies this week.
Per DB research (see attached), the rebound in recent days can be traced to three drivers:
1) Market re-pricing of the Fed after the weak NFP
2) A more benign view of CNY given better China reserves data, and stronger fixings
3) Stretched long USD/Asia positioning
With that said, if you believe USDKRW will reverse in the near term, we've refreshed pricing below.
Please let us know indicative size should you wish to trade and we will provide live pricing.
All pricing is indicative for 6 month tenor
For call spreads, Southern Financial (SOFL) buys low strike and sells high strike
Collars are premium neutral, in which SOFL buys the call option and sells the put option (quoted as Call Strike / Put
Strike )
Reverse Knock Out (RKO) call options give SOFL the option to buy USD / sell KRW at strike as long as USDKRW
remains below barrier through life of trade
