FX option expiries for the 1400 GMT cut - 21 August 2018

An update to Eamonn's post earlier in the day

  • EUR/USD: 1.1350 (EUR 599m), 1.1425 (713m), 1.1465-70 (1.2bn), 1.1500 (543m)
  • USD/JPY: 110.00-10 (USD 1.6bn), 110.25-30 (920m), 110.70 (320m)
  • GBP/USD: 1.2775 (GBP 505m)
  • AUD/USD: 0.7250 (AUD 839m)

Key ones are highlighted in bold. Do take note that these are vanilla options only.

The obvious ones at play are that for USD/JPY as they remain price magnets for the time being. Apart from that, there isn't much else on the board. Potential ones at play later on may be the large ones for EUR/USD near 1.1465-70 in case price action starts to retreat back to the lower side.

But otherwise, expect USD/JPY to stay between 110.00-30 as expiries will keep the bids and offers anchored around the region. For more info on how to use this data, you may refer to this post here.
