FX option expiries for 19 December 10am New York cut

Forexlive - Dec 19th, 2024
Open on Forexlive

The EUR/USD currency pair is experiencing a significant downside break below the 1.0400 level following recent actions by the Federal Reserve. The pair reached a low of 1.0343, close to the 22 November low of 1.0331. Sellers have successfully maintained a daily close below 1.0400, suggesting continued downward momentum. Large expiries today, along with major ones tomorrow, might further support this trend unless stronger influences emerge. With the final trading week of the year underway, securing a clear break below 1.0400 could lead to a push towards parity in the coming year. Upcoming US initial jobless claims data may also impact movement.
