There is just one to take note of on the day, as highlighted in bold below.
That being for USD/JPY at the 147.65 level. The pair jumped up earlier amid some confusion about Trump’s 15% tariffs on Japan. Evidently, it doesn’t seem to be a ceiling and that is what is being disputed at the moment. Akazawa had left Washington before this understanding that the tariffs won’t stack but the US camp is claiming that it would. That means some tariffs will exceed the 15% threshold.
Going back to the expiries, the ones today hold near the 100-hour moving average at 147.77. And put together, that should help to limit some of the upside price action during the session ahead at least. That as the Tuesday and Wednesday highs are also keeping around 147.70-85 for now amid some consolidation in USD/JPY.
Besides that, just be mindful of an extremely large set of expiries tomorrow for AUD/USD at the 0.6500 level. That might play a role in keeping price action sticky before rolling off in the day ahead.
