With US markets sporadically closed.........>

OPTIONS
OPTIONS: With US markets sporadically closed today, options volumes are expected
to dim slightly going forward, however healthy hedging trading has already gone
through in EUR/USD and GBP/USD, somewhat counteracting lower than average
trading levels in USD/JPY and USD/CNY.
EUR/USD's break below 1.13 to touch the lowest levels of the year has spurred
EUR/USD put buying, helping tilt today's put/call ratio positive. Put strikes at
$1.1250 have been particularly popular so far today.
For GBP/USD, contrary to the price action in spot markets, GBP/USD calls have
been better bought, with 1.30 call strikes in demand from the off.
