  • 00:00Trading also bracing for the so-called quadruple witching today it's the day each quarter where options and futures expire for both indices and individual stocks. It's likely to add more volatility foreign rule for an already volatile week and maybe a day. Well let's get straight now to Danny Burger for a full explanation of what that means for your markets. Hi Danny . Hi Francine. Right. As if markets didn't have enough to deal with Will quadruple witching. As you say we get this whole host of options and futures expiring that usually adds volume and volatility into the market. Traders as their options begin to expire they need to say do I need to close this out. Do I wait for it to expire or do I put on new hedges to deal with those . And so according to trade alert one point five trillion dollars worth of option is going to expire. That is a huge amount. And how traders react to this can change our by hours. We get these wild swings in the market of us unprofitable. What positions can become unprofitable now. Last time around we saw a volume spike of 70 percent which would be really remarkable given the volume we've already seen. And just to show you how concerned market players are with this usually S & P Dow Jones adjust their indexes. They're holding off on doing that now. This is the open interest for options on the S & P 500 which is at a record which stands to reason a huge amount of these options are going to expire today which means a lot of volatility likely to come into the market. But according to no mirror once these options are closed it could actually reduce volatility. If new options aren't put on Taylor. Francine .
