Larger FX option strike expiries this week

BUZZ-COMMENT-Larger FX option strike expiries this week Oct 7 (Reuters) - The cash hedging of soon-to-expire FX option strikes can add to any nearby support and resistance levels, whilst also having a magnetic effect on FX price action, and there are plenty on Monday and the rest of this week.
