FX option expiries for 1 May 10am New York cut

There are a couple to take note of on the day, as highlighted in bold.

The first ones are for EUR/USD, layered in between 1.1250 through to 1.1330. The expiries don’t tie in to any technical significance but could play a part in limiting price action, especially to the downside in the session ahead. That since the dollar is putting up a stronger showing since overnight trading, with the pair slipping past recent lows around 1.1310-15.

Then, there is one for USD/JPY at the 144.00 level. It also isn’t one that ties to any technical significance, so I wouldn’t expect the expiries to factor too much into play for this one. The post-BOJ mood and dollar sentiment remain stronger drivers of price action at this stage.
