OPTIONS: Interest Builds in Wednesday Option Expiry

OPTIONS

As noted earlier today, the FX options pipeline is very much front-loaded this week, with the Thanksgiving holidays muting interest from Thursday onwards. EUR/USD is the firm focus of tomorrow's NY cut - with today's bounce in spot narrowing the gap with E1.5bln set to roll-off at $1.0500. Price is also lodged between E1.1bln at $1.0475 and E723mln at $1.0545-50.

  • It's the Wednesday expiry that's understandably the focus this week - with interest building across G10 FX. The most sizeable of which is $2.6bln at Y153.00 in USD/JPY, another E2.4bln at $1.0500 in EUR/USD, A$1.2bln at $0.6645-50 in AUD/USD and N$1.0bln at $0.5750 in NZD/USD.
