Another ‘Volmageddon’? JPMorgan turns into the newest to warn about an more and more fashionable short-term choices technique.

Another large knowledge day is testing animal spirits that appear to be preserving inventory markets from operating off a cliff, regardless of rising bond yields and indicators of a robust economic system that will lock in tighter Fed coverage for longer.

Producer costs got here in hotter than anticipated and inventory futures are falling.

Onto our name of the day, which warns of “Volmageddon” from an more and more fashionable short-term choices technique that might trigger market chaos. It comes from a staff led by JPMorgan’s prime strategist, Marko Kolanovic, who additionally warned of a U.S. shares peak earlier this week.

Kolanovic and his staff famous “very large volumes” on zero days to choices expirations (0DTEs) — places and calls on shares and indexes that expire inside 24 hours. Refresher: a name choice offers an investor to purchase an asset at a selected worth by a selected date, whereas a put choice permits an investor to promote that asset at a sure worth by a sure date.

Kolanovic’s chart exhibits what he sees as fairly excessive every day notional volumes — round $1 trillion.

His predominant concern is a repeat of what was seen in February 2018, when a spike in volatility crushed quick volatility methods, dubbed “Volmaggedon.” By some estimates it worn out $2 billion in investor belongings.

“While history doesn’t repeat, it often rhymes, and current selling of 0DTE (zero day to expiry), daily and weekly options is having a similar impact on markets,” stated Kolanovic.

“If there is a big move when these options get in the money, and sellers cannot support these positions, forced covering would result in very large directional flows. These flows could particularly impact markets given the current low liquidity environment,” he added.

As he defined, these are sometimes “low delta options that rarely get in the money and their impact is mostly through volatility suppression and an intraday buy-the-dip pattern that results from hedging,” Kolanovic says. Delta is a metric that measures how a lot the value of a spinoff would change, given a $1 shift in its underlying safety.

MarketWatch’s Joe Adinolfi famous final October that 0DTE methods had been getting more and more widespread, notably amongst institutional merchants, who needed to revenue by anticipating the hedging exercise of enormous choices sellers.

Others have warned about 0DTEs and the danger they pose for markets. Seabreeze Partners Management’s Doug Kass just lately cautioned that buyers had grown assured after the January market rally, however failed to comprehend how altering market buildings had been influencing market path, particularly these choices on the point of expiring.

All this choices discuss comes as Bloomberg studies the potential return of the “50 Cent” VIX dealer, who turned a loss right into a revenue of almost $400 million, owing to tiny bets on a volatility spike throughout that February 2018 mayhem.

Transactions from late Tuesday confirmed an investor paid 50 cents every for 100,000 name contracts, with a worth of $5 million. The wager is that the Cboe Volatility Index
VIX,
which presently stands at 18, will soar to 50 by May. An identical buy on Wednesday noticed 50,000 such contracts purchased at 51 cents every — a complete of $2.6 million.
