Roughly $534 billion of options have changed hands on average each day this month, with more than half of that happening in call options. That’s above last year’s average of around $367 billion. The strategists say investors have increasingly focused on trading short-dated options. Those with less than two weeks to expiry make up three-quarters of all trades. 作者: sec2100 時間: 2021-7-17 07:42 https://finance.yahoo.com/news/g ... tock-195842276.html作者: sec2100 時間: 2021-7-17 07:43
And much of it’s been concentrated in just a handful of stocks, with more than 60% of the total traded in July attributable to just five names -- Amazon.com Inc., Tesla Inc., Apple Inc., Nvidia Corp., and Alphabet Inc. Near 90% of all trading this month has been concentrated to 50 stocks, Goldman said.作者: sec2100 時間: 2021-7-17 07:44
Meanwhile, strategists at Susquehanna International Group also point out that call volumes in tech names have been rising. Bullish options in Amazon.com have seen a “notable increase” while those in Apple hit a 2021 high earlier this week, wrote the firm’s Christopher Jacobson in a note Thursday.
The heightened activity is helping to drive implied volatility higher even as the stocks have rallied in recent weeks, Jacobson said. “Given the role that these heavily-weighted names have played in driving strength at the broader index level, we find the activity worth monitoring.”
