A crucial day for FX options! Today, February 5th, at 10 am New York time, we have an important expiry to watch out for.
The EUR/USD pair is in the spotlight, with a key level at 1.1800. This pair has been dancing around this figure, and the expiries could bring some exciting price action. But here's the twist: the dollar's strength has been a dominant force this week, especially with the shaky risk sentiment and precious metals taking a hit.
And this is the part most people miss: the impact of precious metals. Silver, in particular, has seen a massive 10% drop, currently trading at $78.63. Gold, too, is down 0.8% at $4,924, showcasing the volatile nature of these markets.
Another pair to keep an eye on is USD/JPY, which is hovering near 157.00. With the rebound continuing, we're not far from the 159.00 mark, a level that could trigger intervention from Tokyo.
