There are just a couple of expiries to take note of on the day, as highlighted in bold below.<\/p>\n

\n

The first being for EUR\/USD at the 1.1475 level. The expiries don’t tie much to any major technical significance but it does sit close to the 2 July high of 1.1472. As such, the expiries could play a part alongside the minor resistance there in keeping EUR\/USD price action in check.<\/p>\n

The currency pair looks to want to come up for air with the dollar dropping further following the softer US PPI data yesterday. So, there is some scope for a further extension higher on a firmer break of the minor resistance noted. The dollar is more muted today though, so that is helping to keep things relatively calmer as we look to the session ahead – for now at least.<\/p>\n

Then, there is one for USD\/JPY at the 162.00 level once again. The dollar may be weaker this week but the yen is also one to suffer alongside it. And that pretty much says a lot about the yen’s plight at the moment, with the currency really unable to get off the floor.<\/p>\n

That said, the expiries should not see much of any impact as intervention risks continue to be the key driver in terms of influence for USD\/JPY.<\/p>\n

The path of least resistance remains for a move higher but traders have to be mindful in not wanting to push the limits of Japan’s ministry of finance.<\/p>\n
