Options Market Statistics (2/23): Unusual Options Activity in AMC Entertainment and Luminar U.S. stocks opened higher Thursday after a dayslong selloff driven by concerns about the trajectory of interest rates. The gains suggested the U.S. stock market might stabilize Thursday after a wave of selling pressure that sent the S&P 500 down 3.8% over four trading days. Concerns that the Federal Reserve could lift interest rates higher than previously expected, and maintain them there for longer, have been a key driver of those losses, and have stoked volatility across asset classes.
