There are no major option expiries to flag for today's New York 10am cut, with the full list available for reference below.
The overall market mood remains relatively subdued as traders and investors continue to assess the ongoing US-Iran situation. There has been no positive breakthrough so far, and that uncertainty is keeping broader markets on edge, with oil prices nudging higher to start the week.
WTI crude is holding above $100, and a hotter-than-expected US inflation report released yesterday is adding to a more cautious risk environment. The bond market continues to face pressure, with yields pushing higher — another key factor weighing on sentiment.
US stocks slipped modestly on Monday, though Wall Street staged a late recovery that helped limit the losses. Heading into today's session, the mood is somewhat steadier, with US futures trading a touch higher.
The primary focus remains on US-Iran developments, though markets will also be watching US President Trump's upcoming visit to China over the coming days, which has the potential to divert attention from other themes.
Given this backdrop, there is relatively little for major currencies to work with at present. With no notable expiries in play today, price action is expected to remain muted, all else being equal.
EUR/USD continues to be capped below 1.1800, while USD/JPY is flirting with intervention risk as it climbs back toward a one-week high — the same level at which the Ministry of Finance last stepped into the market. Beyond that, the broader dollar tone remains tentative, broadly in line with overall risk sentiment.
As a result, major currency pairs are holding little changed heading into the session ahead.
