    Volatility and Investment Strategies

    Japan’s Ministry of Finance seems to be intervening, causing a classic short squeeze in the yen. According to CFTC data, there are still large net short positions at -¥44.8K. This means many traders have to buy back yen and sell dollars. We saw a similar situation in late 2022 when Japan intervened to protect its currency, leading to sharp movements in the market. This situation indicates high volatility. It’s essential to explore options to manage risk and control costs. The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has lost over 4% in the last month, trading near 98.50. Buying put options on the dollar or call options on the euro and pound has been a successful strategy. With volatility on the rise, using call or put spreads is a cost-effective way to maintain a position in this trend. Create your live VT Markets account and start trading now.
