Mike publishes the list of options early in European trading each day. Here’s a quick checkup on the nearby expiries — the can act like magnets, especially in a quiet market.
- GBP/USD – 1.5405 ($300m), 1.5550 ($150m)
- EUR/USD – 1.3300 ($144m)
- USD/JPY – 96.00 ($660m) — On Friday, there are some huge expiries in the 97-99 zone, including $3.75B at 98.10
- USD/CAD – 1.0350 ($100m)
- AUD/USD – 0.9150 ($700m)
- NZD/USD – 0.8006 ($25m)
I would keep an eye on AUD/USD and USD/JPY because there has been some activity in the options market in the past few hours in both.
