| | | | | | Lead Stories | | | Crash or Soar? Traders Are Preparing for Stock Market Extremes; Options buyers bet on broad equities swings, not minor moves; 'A lot of concern of potential black swan events': Cboe's Xu
Carly Wanna and Natalia Kniazhevich - Bloomberg
Investors who just booked profits from one of the strongest first quarters for the S&P 500 Index in decades are preparing for what comes next â whether that's stocks climbing higher or crashing back to earth.
With the stock market sitting at an all-time high as the second quarter begins, the tells for what traders are thinking lie in the options market. Demand for put options that pay off if there's a minor correction is around the lowest in years. Meanwhile, traders are quietly picking up tail-risk hedges: instruments that do little if there's a slight downdraft but offer protection if stocks swing wildly.

Bitcoin Becomes More Volatile Than Ether as Halving Approaches
Omkar Godbole - CoinDesk
Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency by market value and trading volumes, is supposed to be relatively steady compared to other digital assets, protecting a trader's portfolio from wild swings in the broader market. However, bitcoin has been more volatile than ether {{ETH}} recently. Bitcoin's annualized 30-day historical or realized volatility rose to nearly 60% late last week, surpassing ether's 30-day realized volatility by nearly 10 percentage points. That's the highest spread in at least a year, according to data tracked by Paris-based Kaiko. Historical volatility indicates the degree of price turbulence observed over a specific period.

Subhadip Sircar, Saikat Das, and Ashutosh Joshi - Bloomberg
India's central bank is said to have confirmed that exchange-traded currency derivative contracts linked to the rupee can only be offered for hedging purposes after confusion that unhedged trades were allowed for positions below $100 million. The regulator clarified to the Commodity Participants Association of India in a March 28 email that anyone undertaking such contracts involving the rupee without an underlying exposure would be in violation of foreign exchange rules, according to people familiar with the matter. They asked not to be identified as the email isn't public.

Creating an 11% "Dividend" on AMZN Stock Using Options
Gavin McMaster - Barchart
Amazon (AMZN) stock has long been a favorite of option traders and the stock has been on a great run since October last year. The stock is currently above the 20, 50 and 200-day moving averages. One bad thing about AMZN stock is that it doesn't pay a dividend. But what if we could use options to manufacture our own dividend? Amazon Stock Dividend? Let's say I have $18,000 to invest into AMZN stock, I could simply buy some shares and hope the stock rises. But, if I want a more conservative play, I could sell a March 21, 2025 put with a strike price of $180 and set aside the $18,000 in case I am assigned on the short put. That $180-strike put generates around $1,820 in option premium in just under 12 months. So, my $18,000 investment into AMZN is giving me an 11.57% annualized "dividend".
