Option Mover: Bet on risk!
October 28th was a very active day of intraday trading, with the broader market as a whole edging up and the small cap quite active, except for a pullback in the chip stocks.
A few concepts were typical in the performance of the day's exotic options:
Trump win concepts: including $Genuine Parts(GPC)$ $International Paper(IP)$ $Boeing(BA)$ $HP Inc(HPQ)$ $Trump Media & Technology(DJT)$ $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$
AI/Nuclear related: $Hawaiian(HE)$ $TeraWulf Inc.(WULF)$ $Oklo Inc.(OKLO)$ $Corning(GLW)$ $Applied Materials(AMAT)$ $Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing(TSM)$
Meme stock hype including Cryptos: $Virgin Galactic(SPCE)$ $Reddit(RDDT)$ $SoundHound AI Inc(SOUN)$ $Sea Ltd(SE)$ $Royal Caribbean Cruises(RCL)$ $PayPal(PYPL)$
The overall picture is characterized by rising risk appetite and increased bets.
Meanwhile, chip stocks led by $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ pulled back (except for some Meme concepts), mainly due to the lack of a big earnings driver, and the election has little to do with AI.
NVDA's own options expiring this week were heavily "capped" with Covered Calls at 147, 155.
It's understandable that the funds are still focused on election-related positions these days and are betting on yield curve volatility in light of the jobs report.
