EUR/USD's elevated hedging costs have a definite downside skew
1-mth RR show the premium for EUR puts over calls remains quite large
Premium much less than where it was just after Russian's invasion of Ukraine
Options charge a premium for strikes in the direction deemed most vulnerable
1-mth implied ATM vol is at 9.9, well above measured (fair value) vol at 6.7
That shows hedging costs remain quite elevated in the EUR/USD options market
