Fed Week Looms Over Market
JJ Kinahan - Forbes
For the first time since July, the FOMC will formally meet this week where they are expected to raise interest rates another 0.75 basis points to 3.25%. Back in both June and July, the Fed raised rates by the same amount at each meeting and this would mark the third consecutive three-quarter point hike. Central banks around the world have also been raising rates this year. In fact, 90 other central banks have increased rates with approximately half of them doing so with at least one 0.75 basis point hike. Put differently, the global effort to tame inflation is in full effect.

Steve Johnson - Financial Times

While they have not got their way on the latter, Joe Public will at least be able to piggyback on the former, if two proposed exchange traded funds are approved by the US regulator.

Understanding Index Options
Steve Sosnick - Traders' Insight
When you do something for a long time, you sometimes fail to appreciate some of its subtleties. One of those subtleties that I have overlooked is the distinction between index options and equity/ETF options. There are key differences, some of which become especially critical as we approach monthly and quarterly expirations. With a quarterly expiration tomorrow, it seems like a particularly opportune time to discuss them. Even if you don't trade index options, or even options whatsoever, it is important to understand how expiring index options can create a sort of magnetism around major expirations, attracting or repelling as major indices approach key levels.
