解释:
Currency options exhibit volatility smiles because the at-the-money options have lower implied volatility than away-from-the-money options.
Equity traders believe that the probability of large price decreases is greater than the probability of large price increases. Currency traders5 beliefs about volatility are more symmetric as there is no large skew in the distribution of expected currency values (i.e., there is a greater chance of large price movements in either direction).
