Thank you for visiting the Forex.Academy FX Options Expiries Section. Each day, where available, we will bring you notable maturities in FX Options of amounts of $100 million-plus, and where these large commutative maturities at specified currency exchange rates often have a magnetic effect on price action, especially in the hours leading to their maturities, which happens daily at 10.00 AM Eastern time. Each option expiry should be considered ‘in-play’ if labelled as Hot, Warm or ‘out of play’ if labelled Cold with regard to the likelihood of price action meeting the strike price at maturity.
