FxWirePro- Gold Daily Outlook 
The strong US dollar depreciation seen since mid-December seems to have been stopped for now and most recently the US currency was able to regain some lost ground again. There is only one currency in the G10 universe that did considerably well since early February and that is the Japanese yen. JPY’s outperformance for the past two weeks has been remarkable: JPY appreciated to the highest level in 5 months in nominal weighted terms.
If at all USDJPY is projected to slide towards 100 on following driving forces, the below options strategy is advocated on hedging grounds.
The factors that likely to drive further USDJPY weakness:
1) The global investors’ risk aversion heightens significantly,
2) The weak US economy dampens hopes for Fed hikes and leads broad USD weakness, and
3) The expectations for more hawkish than expected personnel change of the BoJ heighten.
Options trades recommendations:
The implied volatility of ATM contracts of USDJPY is trading at around 8.94-8.48% for 1-3m tenors, as the positively skewed IVs of 3m tenors signify the hedging sentiments for the further downside risks over the period of time, this appears to be conducive for put option holders.
Thus, we advocate buying USDJPY 1y put spread strikes 106/103, global knock-in 116 Indicative offer: 0.33% (vanilla: 0.75%, spot ref: 106.662).
Investors trading a put spread with a global knock-in cannot lose more than the premium initially paid. However, the structure will be activated only if USDJPY hits the 116 knock-in. Otherwise, it will expire worthless even if USDJPY trades below 106 one year ahead.
