Description of the dataset

  • LSEG delivers implied volatility surfaces for FX options across key currency pairs. We provide the standardized surface inputs customers need to price, calibrate and manage risk for FX option portfolios.
  • Our coverage includes surface points by maturity and delta or strike, including at-the-money levels, risk reversals and butterflies. LSEG captures currency pair, expiry, quote convention and volatility level to support complete smile and term-structure analysis.
  • We normalize FX options conventions into a consistent schema for model integration and cross-pair comparison. LSEG helps customers reduce friction when incorporating volatility surfaces into valuation, hedging and risk platforms.
  • Our volatility surface content supports calibration of pricing models and monitoring of market-implied risk. We enable customers to evaluate skew, convexity and tenor dynamics across global FX options markets.
