Lots of volatility possible in between now and Quad Witching in 2 weeks.

  • Thu Dec9 30-y Auction
  • Fri Dec 10 CPI
  • Wed Dec 15 FOMC
  • Fri Dec 17 Quad Witching


The first 3 I don't think are going to cause much volatility, but it all depends on the result of each.

The Quad Witching may be a bit more predictable.

During the past 2 years, the QE+Stimulus driven markets have changed how derivatives effect market price.

A side-effect makes market indexes somewhat more predictable, particularly around OPEX (options expiry).

Most notable is the quad witching expiry days.
The third Friday of March, June, September, December

It's when stock index futures, stock index options, stock options, and single stock futures expire simultaneously.

I plotted the last 4 Quads with comments so you can see the extent of sell offs. -1.18% to -1.81%.
