Trump Trade War Fuels Use of Currency Options as Hedge in Europe
European corporate treasurers increasingly are turning to the options market to hedge currency exposure, a more costly method than typically used, as Donald Trump's trade policies cause bigger-than-usual price swings. Daily volumes of currency options surged to a record in early April in the aftermath of Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariff unveil, according to data from the Depository Trust and Clearing Corp. At BNP Paribas SA, one of Europe's largest banks, corporate sales of FX options have doubled year-over-year in 2025 to an all-time high.

Euro Could Reach $1.40 Within Two Years: Macro Hive
Macro Hive CEO Bilal Hafeez says the euro could reach $1.40 within one or two years. "There has to be an outlet somewhere for dollar weakness," Hafeez tells Bloomberg Television. FX options show growing appetite for medium-term euro upside. Markets now see nearly a 1-in-2 chance of the single currency trading above $1.20 by the end of 2027, a far cry from a year ago where there was talk of parity. (Source: Bloomberg)
