FXO 19-01

There are some large ones but nothing that should be too impactful, given how the state of play is developing in the major currencies space.

The Japanese yen remains in focus amid intervention risks as traders continue to keep the pressure on the currency. Fiscal risks remain the main issue with Japan prime minister Takaichi set to officially call for a snap election in her announcement later today. She is scheduled to make an appearance at 0900 GMT and dissolve the lower house of parliament at the ordinary Diet session later this week.

But with Trump stirring up geopolitical tensions in Greenland, the dollar is also under scrutiny to start the week. The greenback was up a little in the early stages but quickly settled lower. The erratic nature of the US administration continues to pile on the currency debasement theme with precious metals surging higher instead.

For now, the dollar is sitting a little lower ahead of European trading with not much to really shout about in relation to the expiries above.

As a reminder as well, it is a US market holiday and long weekend today. As such, there isn't much appetite on the expiries board with traders keeping more focus on the ones that will run off tomorrow and later in the week.

Taking that into consideration, it might be a bit of a quieter one to start the week although the negative risk mood might well translate to some extension flows in the major currencies space later on. For now though, the Swiss franc is already taking charge with USD/CHF down 0.5% to 0.7987 and EUR/CHF down 0.3% to 0.9286 on the day.
