$2 Trillion Option Expiration – Iran Backchannel Messaging Causes Oil Collapse
Portfolio Pulse from The Arora Report
Iran's backchannel messaging indicating a desire to avoid conflict with the U.S. has led to a collapse in oil prices, reducing inflation fears and triggering a stock market rally. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) is consolidating after a rally, with the market showing overbought signals. $2 trillion in options are expiring, and their rollover decisions could impact the market direction. Positive early money flows are seen in Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Apple (AAPL), while negative flows are in Alphabet (GOOG), Meta Platforms (META), NVIDIA (NVDA), and Tesla (TSLA). Mixed flows are in SPY and Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ). The SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and iShares Silver Trust (SLV) are popular ETFs for gold and silver, respectively, and the United States Oil ETF (USO) is the most popular for oil.
