MNI (London)
DOLLAR-YEN: Option linked resistance at Y109.25 finally gave way which has
allowed USD/JPY to extend its recovery to Y109.36, with underlying tone
remaining buoyant at writing. The tension between the US and Iran seems to have
de-escalated which has prompted a paring of risks positions, JPY and Gold the
main barometers of risk. Traders aware that the Y109.25 level holds the expiries
of $2.4bln of option interest at today's NY cut, though interest split between
$1.37bln of USD calls vs $1.05bln of USD puts. Resistance now seen into the
Dec30 high of Y109.50 with stronger interest noted from around Y109.70 through
to suggested option interest at Y109.80. US-Iran situation will be watched for
developments.
