  1. OK so you mean that currencies by nature are less volatile so you get lower implied volatilies, i.e. lower premiums. Right?

  2. You mean that one day the implied volatility is like 5% and a few days later it shoots up to 20%?

    Is that what you mean by "Vol of Vol" :confused:

  4. Volatility moves much more than for equities for example. In a low volatility context, a marginal variation has a deep impact on every structures based on that kind of option. For example, 1 year implied volty was around 23% in march, and is currently aroud 13% for ATM vanilla options.
