Get ready for a thrilling start to the new year! While there aren't any massive FX option expirations on the radar for January 5th, the market is slowly gearing up for the first full trading week of 2024.
Last week, we hinted at the importance of year-start positioning flows for major currencies. Today, the dollar is holding its ground amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions. But here's where it gets controversial: will these tensions continue to impact the dollar's performance, or will other factors take center stage as we progress through the week?
This week, we also have the highly anticipated release of the first US non-farm payrolls data. This event is a big deal and will undoubtedly be a key focus as we navigate the early days of the new year.
Now, let's talk about the expiries board. It's a bit thinner than usual, which means the impact of today's expirations might be less significant. The larger expirations are quite distant from the prevailing spot price, so we shouldn't expect too much movement just yet.
