Forex option contract expiries for today 25 Aug

Here's today's notable expiries for the 14.00 GMT cut 25 Aug

• EURUSD: 1.1700 (EUR 875m)
• USDJPY: 108.00 (USD 690m) 108.50 (520m) 108.75 (350m) 109.00 (405m) 110.00 (1.9bln)
• GBPUSD: Nothing of note
• AUDUSD: Nothing of note

I highlighted today's USDJPY 110.00 expiries previously on Wednesday and yesterday and should help to cap rallies if 109.80 should give way eventually.

Remember that these are "vanilla" options so still in play right up to expiry at 14.00 GMT (right as Yellen gets up to speak) even if breached in the meantime, unlike barrier options which cease to be once hit. The actual amounts can change right up to expiry.
