The headliner for the April seasonals package was that risk trades had room to continue to run. That didn’t turn out to be the case at all but some of the seasonal trades still worked. For instance, our first pick was AUD/JPY longs. That pair made some good headway in April and still finished the

There are a couple of large ones to take note of for today, namely for EUR/USD around 1.0725-50 and AUD/USD at 0.7220. That said, given recent dollar strength and the technical predicaments, the expiries above may not hold too much pull in my view. Looking at the ones for EUR/USD, price action is more or

Just a couple to take note of for the day, that being large ones for EUR/USD at 1.0900-05 and USD/CAD at 1.2500. I highlighted the significance of the former earlier here, after the euro got a bit of a boost to push above 1.0900 following more hawkish remarks by ECB vice president Luis de Guindos.

EUR/USD is holding up 0.3% on the day, trading around 1.0910 at the moment. While the dollar is holding slightly firmer across the board, the euro is getting some respite from the results of the first round of the French election yesterday. Macron has a decent lead but the runoff on 24 April may be

There’s a decent-sized one for USD/JPY at 124.00 but it’s not exactly one that may be of too much significance. That said, the technical level in itself has proven to be a bit of an impediment to any upside price action recently so the expiries may add another layer to that. I mean price action

Just a couple to take note of for today, that is for EUR/USD at 1.0900 and 1.0935-45. That could provide some attraction in terms of price action for the pair, though sellers are firmly in near-term control and considering that the bond market rout is still continuing, that may still underpin the dollar as it
