Here's the larger option expiries today for the 10.00 EST cut 19 March

Further to Eamonn's earlier post here's the update:

  • EURUSD: 1.2300 (1bln) 1.2400 (600m)
  • USDJPY: 105.50 (USD 420m) 106.50 (600m)
  • EURJPY: 132.00 (EUR 500m)
  • AUDNZD: 1.0700 (AUD 600m)

Option expiry impact has definitely been notable recently. Not a lot today on the majors but AUDNZD the main focus today which helps explain core pair limited range

Wed 21 March:

  • EURUSD 1.2250 (EUR 1.3bln)
  • USDJPY 106.00 (USD 2bln) 107.00 (1bln)

Remember these are vanilla options and in play right up until expiry even if breached in the meantime unlike barrier options which cease to be once broken. Barrier Options still live:

  • EURUSD 1.2600
  • USDJPY 105.00 104.00
