Bloomberg with the report:

  • The JPMorgan Global FX Volatility Index gauge was at 9.57 percent, near a two-month low of 9.55 reached Oct. 12.... has fallen 1.18 percentage points since Sept. 30, set for the biggest monthly decline since February
  • Traders expect the Federal Reserve won't increase its benchmark rate by year-end
  • ECB, BOJ, RBA Riksbank have signaled comfort with current settings, while keeping open the prospect of further action if needed
  • Commodity Futures Trading Commission data last week showed currency positioning is the most neutral in more than five years, JPMorgan Chase & Co. said in a Oct. 16 note
