OPTIONS: Busier Monday Pipeline, Expiries Clustered Ahead of Thanksgiving

OPTIONS
  • With the week shortened by US holidays from Thursday, the expiry slate is more heavily concentrated toward the first half of the week - making Monday's pipeline busier than you'd usually see.
  • EUR/USD spot is pinned between two of the largest expiries of the week, with €2.7bln rolling off at $1.0425-40 and €1.7bln at $1.0485-90
  • USD/JPY trades well south of the nearest strike, with the closest option of note at Y156.50($763mln)
  • €580mln rolls off in EUR/GBP at 0.8295-00 today, a level that's continued to hold and act as longer-term range-defining support - and could draw focus on any weakness in the price today.
