Instantly, dealer positioning flipped to a dynamic known as short gamma, meaning market makers had to trade with the prevailing trend -- in this case selling stocks when they fall.“Because these are short dated puts, their value changes much more rapidly,” said Kochuba. “Gamma is higher as you get closer to expiration. This leads to more active hedging, which expands volatility.”The dynamic was a reversal from the previous week when an equity rally into this upcoming options expiration led to a decay in the value of put positions. That in turned prompted dealers to purchase stocks, adding fuel to market gains.Source: Goldman SachsIt’s unclear if the event known as OpEx will fuel fresh fireworks on Friday this time round. About $3.2 trillion of options are set to expire, obliging holders to either roll over existing positions or start new ones. The tally includes more than $2 billion of S&P 500-linked contracts and $505 billion of derivatives across single stocks scheduled to run out, according to estimates by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. strategist Rocky Fishman.The good news is that there was little sense of panic during the S&P 500’s $1.5 trillion rout on Tuesday, according to Amy Wu Silverman, an equity derivatives strategist at RBC Capital Markets. Stock tradingvolumewas subdued, and the analyst didn’t see many new positions initiated in the derivatives market. That means, hedging activity from options dealers is likely to subside accordingly after Friday’s event.“It’s definitely safe to blame options for some of the exacerbation of moves,” she said. “But it’s not really like this move freaked people out and made them add hedges.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9937077928,"gmtCreate":1663334976564,"gmtModify":1676537254355,"author":{"id":"3581803494981906","authorId":"3581803494981906","name":"haoren","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/959cadb42575ede705b330aa58d68a63","vip":1,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":1},"htmlText":"Oh","listText":"Oh","text":"Oh","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9937077928","repostId":1105151472,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105151472","pubTimestamp":1663321360,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1105151472?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2022-09-16 17:42","market":"us","language":"en","title":"A $3.2 Trillion Option Expiration Seen Worsening Post-CPI Rout","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105151472","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Market makers seen selling equities to hedge their positionsDealer ‘gamma’ flipped to short post inf","content":"<html><head></head><body><ul><li>Market makers seen selling equities to hedge their positions</li><li>Dealer ‘gamma’ flipped to short post inflation data: SpotGamma</li></ul><p>Another wrinkle in a chaotic stock market where everything from the frenetic activity of quant traders to an ever-hawkish Federal Reserve is making investing harder than usual: A looming $3.2 trillion options expiry played a notable role in the Tuesday selloff.</p><p>As a hotter-than-expected inflation reading rocked Wall Street, a slew of bearish options that had become worthless during last week’s rally jumped back in the money, forcing market makers to sell underlying stocks to hedge their positions.</p><p>With those put contracts expiring Friday, the activity of dealers turned more sensitive to the movement in the cash market.
