Expiries at 1.1400 for EUR/USD and 162.00 for USD/JPY may limit volatility amid shifting dollar sentiment and intervention risks.
EUR/USD options totaling 1.1400 expire today, with the dollar under slight pressure following softer US CPI data. However, rising oil prices and yields could support a rebound, potentially capping downside moves near the expiry level.
The expiries lack strong technical significance but may act as a magnet if the dollar regains strength. Market focus shifts to US-Iran developments after inflation data, influencing risk sentiment and dollar direction.
USD/JPY options at 162.00 face minimal impact due to heightened intervention risks. Tokyo appears content with current levels but may act if the pair breaches 163.00, limiting expiry-related moves.
