FX Option Expiries for June 8: EUR/USD 1.1500 in Focus
Key FX option expiries for June 8 include EUR/USD at 1.1500, which may help support the pair amid rising dollar strength and risk-off sentiment.
A handful of FX option expiries are set for the 10 am New York cut on June 8, with the EUR/USD 1.1500 strike drawing the most attention.
The first notable expiry is for EUR/USD at the 1.1500 level. While these expiries do not correspond to any specific technical significance, they could align with bids near the figure level to keep price action just above for now. The downside pressure on the pair is mounting after Friday's selloff, with the dollar maintaining a strong position as the US-Iran conflict continues to escalate.
For foreign exchange and currencies traders, option expiries often act as temporary support or resistance, especially when combined with existing order flow. The 1.1500 level for EUR/USD may attract hedging activity, potentially slowing any further decline. The broader risk-off mood, driven by geopolitical tensions, is underpinning the dollar, making it the primary driver for the pair.

Looking ahead, the focus remains on the US-Iran narrative and any shifts in risk sentiment. If the dollar continues to strengthen, EUR/USD could break below 1.1500, but the expiry may provide a temporary buffer. Key data releases later this week, including US inflation figures, could also influence the pair's direction.
