Option expiry impact definitely making waves at the moment and plenty of focus today again across a few pairs. EURUSD contracts will help contain range. USDJPY 106.50 and 107.00 interest too .We highlighted the key expiries again yesterday and I warned of their potential impact. Did you keep EURUSD in mind through ECB fallout and did you all sell USDJPY into 107.00? Don't say you weren't forewarned.
Monday March 12
- EURUSD: 1.2475 EUR 1.1bn
Remember these are vanilla options and in play right up until expiry even if breached in the meantime ( through NFPs for example) unlike barrier options which cease to be once broken. Barrier Options still live:
- EURUSD 1.2600
- USDJPY 105.00 104.00
