Abstract

This paper proposes a pricing method of currency options with a market model of interest rates. Using a simple approximation and a Fourier transform method, we derive a formula of the option pricing under jump-diffusion stochastic volatility processes of spot exchange rates. As an application, we apply the formula to the calibration of volatility smiles in the JPY/USD currency option market. Moreover, using the approximate prices as a control variate, we achieve substantial variance reduction in Monte Carlo simulation.
