# Traders pile into bullish Taiwan dollar options after July rout 2026-08-11T01:03:35+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Bloomberg reports that currency traders are increasing bullish options bets on the Taiwan dollar following its worst July since 2015. Demand for dollar-Taiwan dollar put options, which profit when the US currency falls, surged in late July. Monthly notional volume for these contracts reached nearly $8 billion, exceeding call options for the first time this year. Early August data shows this trend continuing. The shift suggests investors are looking past seasonal dividend repatriation. Official interventions to support the Japanese yen and South Korean won are providing a tailwind for the Taiwan dollar. Citigroup noted increased client demand for options betting on the Taiwan dollar's strength against the greenback. Contract tenors span short-term horizons through next month. ## Coverage - livemint.com Tags: Bloomberg, currency trading, foreign exchange, options market, Taiwan dollar Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/traders-pile-into-bullish-taiwan-dollar-options-after-july-rout/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
