Key Takeaways
- Implied vol at 3-year lows + macro catalyst calendar packed = asymmetric setup for either direction.
AUD/USD 1-month implied volatility sits at 7.5%, the bottom of its 3-year range. Historically, this level has preceded vol expansion within 4 weeks 85% of the time.
**Why now:** RBA Nov meeting + China stimulus follow-through + US election aftermath + year-end positioning unwinds.
**Trade structure suggestion:** long straddle 0.6600 strike, 3-week expiry. Pays out on either a break of 0.6700 or 0.6500.
